Dental problems such as delay in tooth eruption, crown anomalies and agenesis are seen in the patients diagnosed with osteopetrosis, although the severity and extensiveness of the symptoms differ and possibly depend on the age of the patient at HSCT. Treatment management: Frequent dental follow-up examinations are necessary for guiding the eruption and professional dental cleanings. Aid in the eruption can be helpful. In the case of surgical interventions, an antibiotic prophylaxis is advised. A fluoride treatment can be added to prevent caries. The role of HSCT in dental findings needs further research.

Imaging is the first step in diagnosing a persistent swelling of the jaw. A lymphoma in the jaw typically manifests as a poorly defined osteolytic lesion. A biopsy is mandatory and will result in definite diagnosis.

Burkitt lymphoma is a rapidly progressive disease which requires imaging, biopsy, prompt diagnosis and early aggressive chemotherapeutic treatment. We discuss a 7-year-old girl presenting with a persistent and painful unilateral swelling of the jaw. Lymphomas typically manifest as poor defined osteolytic lesions radiographically, as is presented in this case.
