Cementoblastoma -A Rare Case Report

Résumé

According to the World Health Organisation, benign cementoblastoma is classified under the group of cementoma. Cementoblastoma account for up to 3% of all odontogenic tumours. This case highlights the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of cementoblastoma, emphasising the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management to prevent complications and recurrence. It is characterised by the formation of cementum-like tissue that remains fused to the tooth root. It primarily affects young adults and is most commonly associated with the mandibular molars. This report presents a case of a 23-year-old female who experienced pain and progressive swelling in the lower jaw for the past eight days. The Patient had a prior history of pain in the same region two years earlier, which was managed with medication and an attempted traumatic extraction. One year later, the patient reported recurring pain in the same location. Radiographic examination revealed a well-defined radiopaque mass with a surrounding radiolucent halo attached to the root of the permanent mandibular second molar. The lesion, along with the affected tooth, was surgically excised, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cementoblastoma. Early identification and complete surgical excision, including extraction of the involved tooth, are essential to prevent recurrence and complications. This case underlines the importance of clinician awareness to prevent misdiagnosis and to ensure timely and effective intervention.
