Evaluation of bone pathology within the head and neck region, particularly the gnathic bonesis is complex, demonstrating unique pathologic processes. In part, this variation is due to odontogenesis and the embryological cells that may be involved, which can contribute to disease development and histologic variability. As with any boney pathosis, the key is to have clinical correlation, particularly with radiographic imaging prior to establishing a definitive diagnosis. This review will cover those entities that have a predilection for the pediatric population, and while it is not all inclusive, it should serve as a foundation for the pathologist who is evaluating bony lesions involving the craniofacial skeleton.

小儿颌骨和间充质肿瘤。

头颈部骨病理学评估，尤其是颌骨骨化，是复杂的，表现出独特的病理过程。在某种程度上，这种变异是由于牙发生和可能涉及的胚胎细胞，这可能导致疾病发展和组织学变异。与任何骨病一样，关键是要有临床相关性，尤其是在建立明确诊断之前与放射影像学相关。这篇综述将涵盖那些偏爱儿科人群的实体，虽然它并不包括所有内容，但它应该作为评估涉及颅面骨骼的骨病变的病理学家的基础。
