The objective of this study was to describe the clinical, demographic and histopathological characteristics and distribution of oral malignant neoplasms in pediatric and adolescent patients from different diagnostic centers. A data collection was carried out in clinical records of patients aged less than or equal to 19 years with malignant neoplasms of the mouth diagnosed at the ICT/SJC, Department of Oral Pathology (UFPb), Fundação Centro de Controle de Oncologia do Estado do Amazonas (FCecon-Am) and Department of Oral Pathology and Diagnosis (UFRJ). This data collection was carried out through a retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients treated over a period of 30 years (1986-2016). Over a 30-year period, 37 malignant neoplasms in the mouth were diagnosed in 4 different centers in Brazil. The average age of patients at the time of diagnosis was 12.2 years, with females and white people being the most affected. Overall, sarcomas were the most common (37.9%), followed by lymphomas (27%). The mandible was the most affected region (37.8%), followed by the maxilla (32.4%), totaling more than 70% of cases.
