Characterizing tumoral and pseudotumoral cervicofacial lesions in children in Villa Clara is a growing need due to the physical, aesthetic and psychological alterations that they can cause. A cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out in the pediatric maxillofacial surgery service of this province from 2010 to 2019. The population consisted of 101 children with conclusive histological study of benign and malignant tumoral or pseudotumoral lesions of the cervicofacial region. We concluded that tumors and pseudotumors in the cervicofacial region were not related to age, gender or skin color in the studied children. In this series, benign tumors predominated. The most prevalent malignant tumor was Burkitt's lymphoma. There was a high correlation between clinical and histological diagnoses.
