title: Benign cementoblastoma. Case report.
abstract: Benign cementoblastoma is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of mesenchymal origin. A case of a 24-year-old man with benign cementoblastoma is presented. The lesion manifested as a round, radiopaque mass attached to the root of the left first molar of the mandible. The tooth was extracted and the lesion was removed. A diagnosis of benign cementoblastoma was made microscopically. There has been no evidence of recurrence during the three-year follow-up period. A review of the literature and a discussion of the histologic features of this case are included.
