The Cementoblastoma is a benign ectomesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm of the jaw, arising from an exuberant production of cemental tissue continuous with the roots of teeth (usually mandibular posteriors), resulting in a calcified mass adherent with the root apices.
A curious case of a large Cementoblastoma, the size and shape of a ping pong ball, is presented, the first of its kind ever reported to involve the internal / medial / lingual aspect of the mandible, and presenting with unusual and deviant features.
DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION: The Cementoblastoma is usually associated with certain inherent and pathognomonic features, making it rather straightforward to identify and diagnose. Strikingly uncharacteristic clinical, radiographic and histologic attributes presented in this case, made this 'out of the ordinary' and 'Maverick'-like Cementoblastoma, arduous to diagnose, nevertheless, making it an interesting, informative and curious Case Study. This report has brought to light for the first time, several new facets of the Cementoblastoma.
牙骨质母细胞瘤是一种颌骨的良性外胚间叶性牙源性肿瘤，由与牙根（通常为下颌后牙）相连的牙骨质组织过度增生形成，导致形成与根尖相连的钙化团块。
本文报告了一例罕见的大型牙骨质母细胞瘤，其大小和形状如乒乓球，是首例累及下颌骨内侧/舌侧的病例，并具有不寻常和异常的特征。
牙骨质母细胞瘤通常具有某些固有的特征性表现，使其识别和诊断相对直接。然而，该病例呈现出显著不典型的临床、影像学和组织学特征，使得这个“与众不同”且“特立独行”的牙骨质母细胞瘤诊断困难，尽管如此，它仍是一个有趣、信息丰富且引人好奇的病例研究。本报告首次揭示了牙骨质母细胞瘤的几个新方面。
