Abstract:
METHODS: Cementoblastoma (CB) is unique among odontogenic tumors because its gross pathological anatomy is pathognomonic in most cases, i.e., a rounded calcified growth that is fused to the root of a tooth and completely encapsulated by fibrous tissue. The resulting radiographic appearance is a well-defined, globular mixed radiopaque/lucent or completely radiopaque mass obliterating some details of the root, with a thin radiolucent zone surrounding the central opacity. Although hundreds of publications have covered the clinicopathologic features of CB, almost nothing is known about its true history. Also it seems there is little understanding about how the term \"CB\" was originally introduced as a pathologic entity. This report covers some overlooked papers on CB dating back to the 19th century, including the first complete description in 1888 and the first radiographic presentation in 1906.
摘要:
方法:成牙本质瘤(CB)在牙源性肿瘤中是独特的,因为它的大体病理解剖在大多数情况下是病理性的,即,一种圆形的钙化生长物,融合到牙齿的根部,完全被纤维组织包裹。由此产生的射线照相外观是明确定义的,球状混合不透射线/透明或完全不透射线的质量消除了根部的一些细节,中央不透明周围有一个薄的射线可透区域。尽管数百篇出版物涵盖了CB的临床病理特征,对它的真实历史几乎一无所知。此外,对于术语“CB”最初是如何作为病理实体引入的,似乎知之甚少。本报告涵盖了一些可追溯到19世纪的关于CB的被忽视的论文,包括1888年的第一次完整描述和1906年的第一次射线照相演示。
