Facial swelling in a pediatric patient - Causes, clinical and radiological manifestations

Oral Surgery

It is common to find some type of facial swelling in pediatric patients, so it is necessary to know its clinical manifestations and a correct anamnesis. We must bear in mind that the cause of a swelling is diverse.

In these cases, the use of computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is recommended to determine the extent and involvement of the swelling. Rhabdomyosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis.
