Recurrent Aggressive Cementoblastoma – A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Cementoblastoma is an odontogenic tumor of benign nature. It is of mesenchymal origin with a relatively low incidence of reappearance. Hereby we present a case report of a 14-year-old male patient with recurrent swelling on the right mandibular posterior region. Despite surgical removal of the tumor mass along with the right first molar, recurrence of the lesion was noticed. Hence, our report gives an insight on the treatment and management of the lesion by en-bloc resection on the right side of the mandible.
