Localized osteodysplasia of the mandible in a seven-year-old child: a case report.
OBJECTIVE
This report concerns the most recent knowledge on osteodysplasies, anomalies in the development of the bone tissue, that may concern one or more skeleton segments affecting children.


METHODS
The case of a 7-year-old patient is reported, whose left hemimandible showed a radio transparency with a size of 10 x 7 mm. After the usual preliminary diagnostic investigations, it was decided to carry out an ablation. The neoplastic formation was completely enucleated using a conservative operation technique.
