Abstract

We present a 10-year old boy with recurrent swelling of the right mandibular region. Based on the diagnosis of chronic recurrent parotitis, he received only supportive treatment. Because of frequent relapses, the diagnosis was reconsidered. Magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy and biopsy were compatible with chronic osteomyelitis. This lead to a diagnosis of mandibular primary chronic osteomyelitis, an uncommon non-suppurative inflammatory disease of unknown origin. After decortication of the mandible, the patient recovered well. Because there were no further complaints, the follow-up was ended 18 months after the operation.
Keywords: Chronic osteomyelitis; mandibular primary chronic osteomyelitis (MPCO); chronic recurrent parotitis Chronic osteomyelitis; mandibular primary chronic osteomyelitis (MPCO); chronic recurrent parotitis
