Cementoblastoma: An unusual radiographic presentation
2020
Introduction. Cementoblastoma is an uncommon tumor of the jaws that originate
from odontogenic ectomesenchyme, characterized by proliferating
cementum-like tissue. Case Outline. We present the case of a
cementoblastoma in the mandible with atypical radiographic image: no
well-defined borders and no radiolucent rim. Apart of that, taking into
account data from the literature review, different clinicopathological, and
radiographic presentations of tumors and lesions that may resemble
cementoblastoma are discussed. Conclusion. Cementoblastoma must be removed
as soon as possible, together with the associated tooth. Recurrence rate is
a relevant phenomenon and is estimated to 11.8%, so the long-term follow-up
is mandatory.
