What Causes A Tumor On The Jaw Bone Of A 10 Year Old?
hi we have a little boy 10years old with a tumor not cancer, he born like this, on the cheek ho made a very big damage on the jaw bone and on the teeth. the doctors in Greece told us to surge it after 8 years and try to fix the teeth problem. what is your opinion?
hellooo...red through ur query...according to ur symptoms and age of the child i think it is cherubism...but diagnosis cannot be concluded without the blood test and the xrays....now treatment can be based on the growth of the child..if the tumor is hampering growth of his jaw bone ....then its better to undergo surgery as early as possible and if its asymptomatic and not affecting the child it can be postponed till his growth ceases..but as i said before treatment cannot be done without knowing clinical presentation and xrays and biochemical test results...so better to meet an oral surgeon and get his opinion on this case.....hope ur benefitted something by this reply..have a healthy day!!!
