title: Benign cementoblastoma (true cementoma).
abstract: Benign cementoblastoma is a rare benign odontogenic tumor of mesenchymal origin. As only a few documented cases have been reported in the literature, the clinical and histologic criteria for identifying this type of tumor are still uncertain. Thus, problems of differential diagnosis warrant the present report of a case of benign cementoblastoma in the mandible of a 27-year-old man.
