A lump on the midface of a child can pose as a diagnostic dilemma. There is a wide variety of possible differential diagnoses, ranging from simple benign conditions such as a sebaceous cyst, dermoid cyst, lipoma, neuroma and neurofibroma, to potentially devastating conditions such as odontogenic myxoma. A case of a child in which the formulation of a definite diagnosis was clinically and histologically challenging is presented.
儿童面中部出现肿块可能会造成诊断难题。可能的鉴别诊断范围很广，从简单的良性病变，如皮脂腺囊肿、皮样囊肿、脂肪瘤、神经瘤和神经纤维瘤，到可能具有严重破坏性的病变，如牙源性黏液瘤。本文介绍了一例在临床和组织学上都难以明确诊断的儿童病例。
