Benign osteoblastoma with multiple cystic lesions of the mandible: Report of a case

Abstract

A rare case of benign osteoblastoma with multiple cystic lesions of the mandible is presented.
A 58-year-old man came to our department with. chief complaint of swelling of the right part of the mandible for approxiamately 2 years.
A radiograph showed an opaque, well defined, and measuring 5.0×6.0cm osteoblastoma in the second morlar part of the mandibular osseous body with widespread multiple cystic lesions. Rapidly increasing of swelling indicated malignancy, so surgery with hemimandibulectomy was carried out.
The histologic features of the entire specimen proved its benign character and it was diagnosed as a benign osteoblastoma. The patient is doing well 5 years after surgical treatment.
