文摘

Osteoblastoma is a rare bone tumor showing a predilection for males, and only 15% of all osteoblastomas occur in the maxillofacial region, affecting the maxilla less than the mandible. A very rare case of osteoblastoma affecting the maxilla in a female patient is reported. The diagnosis of osteoblastoma of the maxilla was made based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. The lesion was completely resected, and the excised specimen showed features that are typical of osteoblastoma. At 2-year follow-up, the patient was disease-free. This report presents this rare case of osteoblastoma of the maxilla in a female patient and discusses the importance of correct diagnosis and complete surgical approach in the treatment of this lesion.
