Osteoblastoma is a solitary benign bone-forming neoplasm, which comprises 1% of all primary bone tumors. Multifocal benign osteoblastoma of the jaws is very rare. Osteoblastoma must be differentiated from other similar bone-forming lesions such as osteoid osteoma and osteosarcoma for correct diagnosis and proper treatment planning. Therefore, precise examination of the patient and correlation with radiographic and histological features are essential for the best treatment and prognosis. This study reports a rare case of multifocal osteoblastoma in a 30-year-old female, involving the mandible and the maxilla, which was treated by surgical excision, iliac bone graft reconstruction, and implantation. Complete surgical excision is necessary to treat osteoblastoma with a good prognosis. The patient was followed-up for four years postoperatively, and there were no signs of recurrence in the panoramic view or the clinical examination.

Background: Cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor characterized by the formation of osteocementum-like tissue on a tooth root directly by neoplastic cementoblasts. Although it is categorized as benign, it has a high potential for growth with a certain degree of recurrence risk. However, there are only a few studies describing the features of recurrent cementoblastoma.

Introduction: Spinal osteoblastomas are primary benign bone tumors most commonly presenting as diffuse back pain in young adults. Rarely, spinal osteoblastoma is associated with ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF), a form of ectopic bone formation, which can present with myelopathy. This report highlights a unique case of a patient with spinal osteoblastoma, associated OLF, and thoracic myelopathy.

Bone tumors and tumor-like lesions (pseudotumors) are not uncommonly encountered as asymptomatic findings on imaging, or as symptomatic lesions clinically. Radiographic imaging is the first diagnostic tool for their management strategy, since the symptoms are commonly non-specific, such as pain, swelling, and redness. Image findings must be analyzed with attention to the specific features such as lesion location, margination, zone of transition, mineralization, size and multifocality, soft tissue component and/or loco-regional extent.
