ABSTRACT

Aim

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. CASE REPORT: The case of a 7 year old patient is reported,
whose left hemimandible showed a radio transparency with a size of 10x7 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.
