“…Epitheloid osteoblastoma in multiple nidus has a predilection for the jaws. This lesion is difficult to distinguish from OS (11). Careful consideration of cyto morphologic and nuclear features aids in differentiating from osteosarcoma because osteosarcomas are generally more atypical.…”

SummaryFibroosseous gnathic lesions comprise a wide spectrum of diseases. Many of the entities have overlapping features. A pediatric case is encountered with a complex clinicopathologic profile. Although radiographically the lesion appears benign but on histopathological examination it possesses features of osteoid producing aggressive neoplasm. This paper highlights the unusual histologic features existing within the spectrum of fibroosseous lesions and discusses relevant clinicopathologic correlations.

“…The other three types of cementum-producing disorders are Periapical Cemental Dysplasia, Cementifying Fibroma and Gigantiform Familial Cementoma. (3) Cementoblastomas are uncommon odontogenic tumors derived from neoplastic cementoblasts (6) and are considered as true cementum neoplasms. (3) Cementoblastoma is rare in the oral cavity and accounts for less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors and is currently classified by the 2005 WHO as an ectomesenchymal odontogenic tumor with or without odontogenic epithelium that originates from dental roots and is characterized by cementum formation.…”

ARTICLE INFOBackground: Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth-forming apparatus. Therefore, they are found exclusively in tooth-bearing areas. Similar to other neoplasms in the body, odontogenic tumors tend to histologically mimic the cell or tissue of origin. Case Report: A 5-year-old boy presented with a chief complaint of pain in the mandible which started 3 months ago. Oral examination revealed bony expansion and a radiopaque mass fused with the roots of deciduous second molar was detected during radiographic examination. After surgical excision of the lesion and the involved tooth, microscopic examination revealed neoplastic tissue consisted of trabeculae of mineralized material with irregular lacunae and prominent basophilic reversal lines. Each trabecula was lined by prominent cells surrounded by cellular connective tissue. The lesion infiltrated the pulp chamber and root canals. Conclusion: According to the clinical and radiographic findings, bone-producing tumors, odontogenic tumors with calcifications and reactive lesions were included in the differential diagnosis. However, based on histopathology and radiographic data, final diagnosis of Cementoblastoma, a benign odontogenic tumor, was confirmed. Patient follow-up revealed no recurrence of the lesion.

“…Regarding differential diagnosis, the distinction between cementoblastoma and osseous tumors (osteoblastoma, osteoid ostema, osteosarcoma) is problematic based on histological examination only (Kramer et al, 1992;Ulmansky et al, 1994;Brannon et al, 2002;Bilodeau et al, 2010). It has been stated that a diagnosis cannot be made on a biopsy alone ( Van der Waal, 2005).…”

Cementoblastoma in a red deer (Cervus elaphus) from the Late Pleistocene of Rochedane, France

Only relatively few cases of dental abnormalities in wild ruminants have thus far been described in the paleopathological literature. This study reports a case of cementoblastoma, a benign odontogenic tumor of ectomesenchymal origin, in a red deer (Cervus elaphus) from the Late Pleistocene of Rochedane, a prehistoric site in the French Jura. The tumor was attached to the root of a heavily worn loose left maxillary third molar. CT imaging revealed several radiolucent (former soft tissue) spaces of varying shape and size within the mineralized tumorous mass. Light microscopic analysis and backscattered electron imaging in the SEM showed that the process of dental wear had reached the tumor and that the tooth and the attached tumor had undergone considerable microbial diagenesis. This is the first case of cementoblastoma described in a prehistoric animal and also the first report of this type of odontogenic tumor in a deer.
