“…Other studies reported a survival rate of 75% to 85% in advanced BL stages of III and IV. Generally, other factors such as patient age and timing of diagnosis affect the prognosis 10 . The current case was referred and diagnosed effectively rather early, preventing significant patient morbidity and mortality.…”

associated with higher complication rates than other arthroscopic techniques. One of the weak points of this study is represented by the fact that pain and mouth opening represent the only variables considered to analyze patients outcomes. It would be very interesting to analyze the improvement of these patients in terms of quality of life. The introduction of a quality of life questionnaire in following studies could expand our knowledge about the efficacy of this procedure.

“…Radiological examination of the jaw either by panoramic or plain radiographs of the jaw often reveals jaw swelling, radiolucent osteolytic lesion with destruction of the cortical bone, loss of lamina dura with dental anarchy [8]. The index case had plain radiographs of the jaw, these demonstrated destructive lesions of the maxilla with loss of lamina dura, dental anarchy with associated lytic lesions of the mandible and extensive sunburst or sunray pattern of periosteal reaction.…”

Burkitt’s lymphoma is a tumor that most often affects the jaws, most commonly seen in endemic areas of Africa, although the jaws are affected in about 15-18% in non-endemic regions, with prevalence in boys aged between 4-7 years. This is a 12-year-old male child that presented with right jaw painful swelling for more than six-months duration of onset. He was referred for plain radiographs of the jaw from a peripheral healthcare center. The jaw radiograph was done in anterior-posterior and oblique views of both sides respectively. The radiographs demonstrated a soft tissue density mass on the right, with associated destructive lytic lesion involving the right maxilla severelyand the right mandibleto a lesser extent. There is associated loss of lamina dura with severe dental anarchy involving the maxilla. The mandible showed lytic and expansile areas in its body with marked periosteal reaction; the sunray appearance. The contralateral maxilla and mandible have normal appearances. Complementary abdominal ultrasonography revealed normal appearances excluding abdominal involvement. Histology revealed the classic diffuse starry-sky appearance with benign histiocytes containing abundant, clear cytoplasm dispersed among a background of homogeneous, basophilic tumor cells, in keeping with Burkitt’s lymphoma. We report this case to describe the radiographic appearance of Burkitt’s lymphoma of the jaw bones.

“…We recorded more common involvement of the maxilla than the mandible with the left side twice as affected as the right side. The fact that we had a sizable number of patients with Burkitt´s lymphoma may have contributed to this considering the fact that Burkitt´s lymphoma favors the maxilla more than the mandible [ 14 ].

Introduction primary maxillofacial tumors are uncommon in pediatric patients. When they do occur, the tissue damage caused directly alters facial growth, development as well as psycho-social evolution. This study was carried out to determine the pattern, sociodemographic characteristics and histologic peculiarities of paediatric jaw tumors in our environment. Methods a retrospective hospital-based study where the case notes of children below the age of 14 years who presented with jaw tumors and tumor-like lesions from January 2014 to December 2018 were studied. Results eighty-two patients were studied; patients aged 10-14 years had the highest representation. Mean time of presentation was 8 months with jaw swelling being the commonest presentation (84.1%). Majority of the fathers were in their 4 th decade of life while most of the mothers were in their third decade of life and both parents possessed primary school certificate as their highest level of educational attainment. Fathers were mostly traders, while mothers were mostly full-time housewives. The maxilla and mandible were most commonly affected with the left side showing higher preponderance. Burkitt lymphoma (19 (23.2%)) and adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (14 (17.1%)) were the commonest lesions. When the tumor involved both the maxilla and the mandible, the tumor was most likely malignant. Conclusion in our center, paediatric jaw tumors are commonest in male children with the 10-14 years´ age group most commonly affected. Burkitt lymphoma and adenomatoid odontogenic tumors were the commonest tumors. Early presentation must be encouraged since these tumors if presented early can be successfully treated.
