Benign osteoblastoma of the mandible in a 12-year-old female: A case report

Abstract: Benign osteoblastoma refers to a benign tumor of the bone. Osteoblastoma most commonly affects the vertebrae and long tubular bones, however, in rare cases is observed in the facial bones. The current study presents the case of a 12-year-old female patient with a tumor in the mandibular body. Radiological imaging revealed a lesion with regular contours. The lesion was radically resected and histological analysis of the specimen demonstrated features that are typical of a benign osteoblastoma. The consequential… Show more

“…Some reports have even claimed that lesions can spontaneously regress while being treated nonsurgically with NSAIDs [ 19 ]. Osteoblastoma on the other hand is always treated surgically due to a lack of responsiveness to nonsurgical pain management and potential for aggressive behavior [ 20 ]. Though the relationship is not well understood, many have noted similarities between aggressive type osteoblastoma and osteosarcoma [ 1 , 5 , 21 ].…”

“…It occurs twice as often in men, and usually in their mid-thirties. Vertebrae and long bones stand out as its preferred sites [10] . In the presented case the lesion occurred in the mandible, in a female seven-year-old patient, an unusual fact.…”

“…In the radiography, the osteoblastoma has an oval or round image which is radiolucent, radiopaque or mixed, however, without fusing with the cementum of the adjacent teeth, sometimes surrounded by a sclerotic bone margin and in approximately one third of cases resembles a malignant pathology such as the osteosarcoma [3] , [10] . In this case a mixed pattern, multilocular image, bulging of the bone cortical bone, with a moth-eaten aspect, was observed.…”

“…The differential diagnosis of this lesion must include osteoid osteoma, cementoblastoma e fibroma ossificante. Sometimes, the difficult in the diagnostic persists even in the histopathologic analysis, which can resemble other bone-producing lesions, fibrous bone lesions and also osteosarcoma in some cases 8,9 .…”
