| Popis: | Introduction. Cementoblastoma is an uncommon tumor of the jaws that originates 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 from 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. |
