Osteoblastoma is a benign tumour with aggressive trait usually seen in young males between 10 and 40 years of age. This condition is quite rare in children. Here, we report one such rare osteoblastoma occurring in the maxilla of a 4-year-old boy and discuss the clinical presentation, radiologic and histologic features, and treatment of this patient, and a brief review.
