Abstract

A rare case of benign cementoblastoma is reported. Active cementoblasts adding cementoid tissue were observed histologically by means of specific staining for unmineralized matrix of hard tissue. A polarizing microscope and an x-ray diffractometer were used to clarify the cementum-like tissue of benign cementoblastoma. The collagen bundles of tumor tissue showed irregular and random arrangements under polarized light. The qualitative analysis revealed that the mineralized component was composed of low-crystalline hydroxylapatite.

    In 9 cases, the circumscribed calcified lesion was readily enucleated or shelled out, although some tumors had to be surgically sectioned to accomplish removal. A detailed review and analysis of the English-language literature revealed a total of 73 acceptable cases.5-7,9-49 One case in the Spanish-language literature50 that documented recurrence was also included for a total of 74 cases.
