Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Xanthomas are rare in the jaw, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Differentiating primary xanthoma from secondary causes like hyperlipoproteinemia is crucial.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with a painless xanthoma in the mandible.
  • The lesion caused significant mandibular expansion due to infiltration.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a xanthoma, necessitating the exclusion of other entities.
  • The benign nature of the lesion was established after ruling out systemic associations.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare xanthoma presentations in pediatric jaw lesions.
