This study presents a rare case of maxillary cementoblastoma, a benign odontogenic tumor, affecting an adult male. Complete surgical removal of the lesion and the involved tooth led to a favorable prognosis.

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oncology
Dentistry

Background:

Cementoblastoma is a rare, benign odontogenic neoplasm, accounting for less than 6% of all odontogenic tumors.
The etiology of cementoblastoma remains unknown.
This neoplasm predominantly affects young males and is most commonly found around mandibular premolars and molars.

Observation:

A rare case of maxillary cementoblastoma involving an unerupted central incisor (tooth 21) in a 32-year-old man is presented.
Clinical presentation included a left maxillary swelling.
Radiographic examination revealed a well-defined, radiopaque lesion with a radiolucent halo surrounding the root of the unerupted tooth.

Findings:

Computed tomography confirmed the presence of a well-defined, high-density lesion attached to the tooth root.

Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cementoblastoma.

The tumor exhibited slow growth and a tendency to expand cortical bone.

Implications:

Maxillary cementoblastoma is an uncommon presentation, highlighting the importance of considering rare pathologies in differential diagnoses.
Complete surgical excision of the cementoblastoma along with the affected tooth is the recommended treatment.
The prognosis for cementoblastoma is generally good following complete removal.
