Relevance of Cone-beam computed tomography on diagnosis and surgical planning of the cementoblastoma

The cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor occurring in the mandibular molar and premolar of the patients in the second and third decades of life. Despite its typical benign behavior, this tumor may promote local destruction by perforating the cortical bone and displacing the mandibular canal. This case report shows a 31-year-old man with an aggressive cementoblastoma attached to the apex of the mandibular first molar. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed a hyperdense mass connected to the root of mandibular molar surrounded by a hypodense area. Multiplanar reconstructions showed rupture of buccal bone plate and tumor invasion of the mandibular canal roof. The surgical planning inclu…

Atypical intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma with two years of evolution and cutaneous infiltration

The intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare lesion that frequently affects the posterior region of the mandible. This case reports a multilocular osteolytic radiolucency with two years of evolution, that expanded and perforated the cortical bone, with irregular and indefinite margins, that extended from the mandibular angle to the ascendant ramus, with cutaneous ulceration, detected in a 51 years-old male. An incisional biopsy was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of low-grade intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The patient was submitted to partial mandibulectomy, neck dissection and post-operative radiotherapy. In three years of follow-up, there was no evidence of tumor recu…

Bilateral jaws involvement of Burkitt?s lymphoma in a pediatric patient

A case of Burkitt’s lymphoma with bilateral jaws involvement in a 5-year-old boy is reported discussing the dentist’s role in the diagnosis and management of this disease. The initial clinical diagnosis established of maxillary swelling causing trismus was a dentoalveolar abscess. The incisional biopsy was performed and histopathological analysis, including immunohistochemistry, confirmed the Burkitt’s lymphoma. The patient underwent treatment and remains free of the disease for 36 months of follow-up. The occurrence of intraoral bilateral jaws involvement of Burkitt’s lymphoma in child is unusual and its accurate diagnosis avoids complications in the patient’s treatment. Key words:Burkitt’…
