This paper highlights the unusual and rare presentation of a cementoblastoma in the maxilla. It also discusses a review on this odontogenic pathology.
We present a cementoblastoma appearing in an atypical site in a young girl. The presenting clinical features with radiologic features are reviewed. Also discussed is an approach to radiological interpretation. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the seventeenth case to be reported in literature.
Cementoblastoma is a benign true neoplasm which forms a mass of cementum or cementum-like tissue on the root surface of the tooth. As a maxillofacial practitioner, it is essential to consider cementoblastoma as one of the differential diagnosis, although rare, while considering maxillary swellings. The treatment remains fairly conservative, with an excellent prognosis.
本文重点介绍了上颌骨成牙骨质细胞瘤这种不寻常且罕见的表现形式。同时还讨论了对这种牙源性病理的综述。
我们呈现了一名年轻女孩上颌骨非典型部位出现的成牙骨质细胞瘤。回顾了其临床表现及放射学特征。还讨论了放射学解读方法。据我们所知，这是文献中报道的第17例病例。
成牙骨质细胞瘤是一种良性真性肿瘤，在牙根表面形成一团牙骨质或类牙骨质组织。作为一名颌面外科医生，在考虑上颌肿胀时，尽管成牙骨质细胞瘤罕见，但将其作为鉴别诊断之一至关重要。治疗较为保守，预后良好。
