Abstract

This chapter discusses a heterogeneous group of pediatric diseases in the oral cavity, maxilla, and mandible that can be diagnosed based on combined features of their appearances on examination, clinical laboratory test results, radiology in bone lesions when appropriate, histology, immunopathology, and molecular abnormalities. These pathological analyses serve to distinguish these diseases as reactive, congenital, inflammatory, benign, or malignant.

A vast array of pathologies occurs in the oral cavity and maxillofacial complex in the pediatric age group. While some entities are unique to the oral cavity, many also occur elsewhere in the body. Knowledge of their existence in the oral cavity or jaws is thus key to their diagnosis.

Readers will find the presentation and definition of these lesions and disease conditions in an atlas-like format informative, with an accompanying detailed text that describes the pathology of each of them. The importance of clinical-pathological correlations in the establishment of an accurate diagnosis should not be overlooked.
