title: Cystic angiomatosis of bone: a case report.
abstract: Diffuse skeletal cystic angiomatosis is an extremely rare disorder that has not previously been reported in detail in the dental literature. This case report deals with the oral manifestations in a 10-year-old boy. Clinical, radiographic, and computed tomographic examinations showed hyperplasia of the right side of the face. The computed tomographic imaging studies revealed the extent of the jawbone lesions and the adjacent hyperplastic soft tissues. The histologic appearance of the lesions, the course of the disease, and the differential diagnosis are discussed.
