MARCONDES et al. Extensive Mandibular Cementoblastoma. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2022, vol.34, n.3, pp.32-33.  Epub Dec 30, 2022. ISSN 2183-1351.  https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.25987.

Cementoblastoma is a rare and benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor, usually characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue produced by neoplastic cementoblasts attached around the roots of a tooth. The tumor has unlimited growth potential. Often the suggested treatment is tumor resection together with the associated tooth. We present a clinical case of large proportions of cementoblastoma located in the posterior region of the mandible in a young male patient.
