Osteoblastoma: a case report

ConclusionsA 14-year-old male was referred to the oral surgery clinic after the discovery of a swelling in the left side posterior mandible during a routine examination. The area was asymptomatic and a pantomograph revealed a radiopaque mass in the left posterior mandible. A series of radiographs demonstrated the growth of an enlarging radiopaque entity in the left side of the posterior mandible. An incisional biopsy was performed and the specimen submitted for decalcification and histopathologic examination.Enucleation and curettage of the left mandibular lesion with peripheral ostectomy was carried out, and a surgical plate that extended from the midramus to ipsilateral canine along the inferior border of the mandible was placed.
