Cementoblastoma of maxilla: Case report of a rare odontogenic tumor and short review of the literature. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.2, pp.131-139.

Cementoblastoma is a benign tumor derived from the ectomesenchymal odontogenic tissues. Their occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. A case of a 22-year-old female patient is presented. Main complain was facial asymmetry produced by a hard tumor that affected the first upper right premolar tooth which expanded vestibular and palatine cortical bone. Mild pain, particularly when touching was manifested by patient. Difficulties to establishes the correct diagnosis and the contribution of cone beam CT (CBCT) are discussed. Surgical block resection that included the premolar together with contiguous teeth was the treatment. The microscopic features of cementoblastoma are shown demonstrating substitution resorption of affected tooth root.
