Thank you so much for a thoughtful post. Osteoblastoma of the jaw are very, very rare. Less than 1% of bone tumors are osteoblastoma - and most are in the spine or leg. Less than 1% of the 1% are in the jaw.

So finding information (other than some medical reports) has been like finding hen's teeth. Which is why I was drawn to your forum...

I realize my son does not have cancer and am very grateful for that... I have read many of the posts on this board about mandibulectomies and it is scary as hell. This board has been helpful, and I hesitated to post since DS doesn't have cancer, and really appreciate your taking so much effort to respond to me. Thank you.
