摘要

To retrospectively evaluate and classify odontogenic cysts and tumours in paediatric patients, highlighting their clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges and management strategies. A retrospective case series was conducted using archived clinical and histopathological data of paediatric patients (≤ 18 years) diagnosed with odontogenic cysts and tumour which were collected for the past 1 year (2023–2024). The majority of odontogenic lesions in the current case series appear between the ages of 13 and 18, which is the age at which permanent dentition occurs. Three of the cases had OKC, three had ameloblastoma and one had odontoma. Conclusion: Paediatric odontogenic cysts and tumours, though rare, exhibit unique clinical and radiographic characteristics that differentiate them from adult cases. Early diagnosis and conservative treatment approaches are essential to preserve jaw development and minimize recurrence risks. Further prospective studies with long-term follow-up and genetic analysis are needed to improve the understanding and management of these lesions in paediatric patients.

What is Known:

• Odontogenic cysts and tumours are rare in paediatric patients and often present diagnostic challenges.

• Adult-based data dominates current literature.

What is New:

• This study presents paediatric-specific retrospective case series highlighting unique clinical, radiological and histopathological features of lesions.

• It proposes a decision-making flowchart tailored for paediatric jaw lesions.
