Broad Overview

The following chapter will provide a broad overview of the most common osseous lesions a surgeon will encounter when a pediatric patient presents with a bone-like head and neck tumor. The selected topics discussed below will be benign and malignant odontogenic cysts and tumors, and non-odontogenic benign (giant cell tumors, fibrous dysplasia, and juvenile ossifying fibroma) and malignant (osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma) osseous tumors. This chapter has  4 figures, 3 tables, and 40 references Key Words: odontogenic cyst, non-odontogenic cysts, odontogenic tumors, giant cell tumor, fibrous dysplasia, juvenile ossifying fibroma, osteosarcoma, ewing sarcoma

Giant Cell Tumors

Giant cell tumors (osteoclastoma) occur infrequently in the head and neck and are extremely rare in children. The occurrence of such a lesion in the ethmoid sinus of a 14-year-old girl is presented and discussed.

Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

BACKGROUND: Bone cysts are characteristic tumor-like bone lesions occurring in childhood. Overall, they represent 21% to 57% of all benign tumors and tumor-like bone lesions in children. Clinical and X-ray symptoms of aneurysmal and simple bone cysts are similar. Like some other, often occurring, benign bone lesions, such as enchondromas, giant cell tumors, fibrous dysplasia, and metaphysical fibrosis defects. AIM: This study aims to identify the main clinical and instrumental characteristics of simple and aneurysmal bone cysts that allow us to differentiate them from some similar destructive bone neoplasms (enchondromas, giant cell tumors, fibrous dysplasia, and metaphysical fibrosis defects) and to develop indications for various diagnostic surgical interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the results of the survey of 206 patients aged 3 to 18 years who were treated at our facility from 2000 to 2015 was performed. The features of the diagnostic tactics and their effectiveness were rated. RESULTS: The main clinical and instrumental diagnostic criteria have been established. They enable the differentiation of bone cysts from some similar benign bone lesions at the pre-morphological stage. The indications for diagnostic surgical interventions have been formulated. CONCLUSION: The main difficulties in the differential diagnosis of bone cysts and some similar benign bone lesions have been revealed. An algorithm for applying various diagnostic surgical interventions in patients with these diseases has been proposed.

Microscopic Findings

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a condition characterized by excessive proliferation of bone forming mesenchymal cells which can affect one bone (monostotic type) or multiple bones (polyostotic type). It is predominantly noticed in adolescents and young adults. Fibrous dysplasia affecting the jaws is an uncommon condition. The most commonly affected facial bone is the maxilla, with facial asymmetry being the chief complaint. The lesion in many instances is confused with ossifying fibroma (OF). Diagnosis of these two lesions has to be done based on clinical, radiographic, and microscopic findings. Here, we present a case of fibrous dysplasia of maxilla in a nine-year-old boy mimicking juvenile ossifying fibroma.

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is classified by the World Health Organization as a benign bone lesion. It is found anteriorly in the mandible, with most of the cases crossing the midline. In total, 70% of CGCGs are encountered in young females. Fibro-osseous lesions are a group of pathologies that encompass neoplastic, dysplastic and reactive entities. Juvenile ossifying fibroma, which can be further categorized into juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) and juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma, represents an aggressive neoplastic example of these fibro-osseous lesions. JTOF occurs in children at almost equal ratios in both sexes, affecting the maxilla more than mandible. This study aims to report a peculiar case of a hybrid lesion comprising CGCG and JTOF in the mandible of a nine-year-old female patient. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings were assessed. Clinical examination revealed an intraoral swelling extending from the right impacted third molar area to the left first molar area. Computed tomography showed a well-defined multilocular radiolucency with diffuse flecks of radioopacities. Histopathologically, the lesion comprised fibrous connective tissue encompassing numerous multinucleated giant cells and other areas of cell-rich connective tissue stroma containing bands of osteoid matrix and anastomosing immature bone trabeculae intermixed with scattered clusters of multinucleated giant cells. We hereby report a case of a rare hybrid lesion comprising CGCG and JTOF.
