To establish a preliminary diagnosis, general clinical and additional diagnostic methods were used, including\nradiography and computed tomography. The microscopic structure of the postoperative material was examined using histological slides.\nResults: It was established that among the 17 patients, there were 10 boys (58.8%) and 7 girls (41.2%), and the highest number of diagnosed cases were\nobserved in the older age group (12 patients (70.6%)). The course of the disease was predominantly asymptomatic; in some cases, complaints were limited\nto the presence of painless hard protrusions on the vestibular surface of the mandible, which, even when small in size, caused some facial asymmetry.\nRadiological diagnostic methods enabled the confirmation of the diagnosis. The microscopic structure of the postoperative material fully corresponded to the\nmorphological features of osteomas described in adult patients. The treatment strategy was determined based on the patient\u2019s complaints and the clinical\nsymptoms in each individual case.\nConclusions: 1. Osteomas of the maxillofacial region in children are most commonly observed in the older school-age group, with the most frequent localization\nbeing the body of the mandible and the area of the paranasal sinuses. Inflammatory processes and trauma against a background of hereditary predisposition\nare among the provoking factors for their development. 2. The clinical presentation and morphological structure of osteomas in children do not significantl\ndiffer from those in adults. The generally accepted treatment approach, namely, dynamic monitoring of small-sized tumors and complete surgical removal in\ncases of disease progression or the development of deformities is fully justified. 3. Not with standing the advancements in scientific and technological progress\nand improved diagnostic capabilities, the issues of the etiology, pathogenesis and nosological classification of osteoid osteomas remain debatable and require\nfurther in-depth investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/wlek\/209511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,27]],"date-time":"2025-09-27T18:13:10Z","timestamp":1758996790000},"page":"1584-1592","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Osteomas in pediatric oral surgery practice"],"prefix":"10.36740","author":[{"given":"Pavlo I.","family":"Tkachenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serhii O.","family":"Bilokon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olha B.","family":"Dolenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kateryna Yu","family":"Rezvina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liliia V.","family":"Buria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olena V.","family":"Dubrovina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nataliia M.","family":"Korotych","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]},"container-title":["Wiadomo\u015bci Lekarskie"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-209511-129152","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-209511-129152","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,27]],"date-time":"2025-09-27T18:13:14Z","timestamp":1758996794000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/Osteomas-in-pediatric-oral-surgery-practice,209511,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"alternative-id":["209511"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.36740\/wlek\/209511","relation":{},"ISSN":["0043-5147","2719-342X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0043-5147","type":"print"},{"value":"2719-342X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]}}}
