OSTEOBLASTOMA IN ZYGOMATIC BONE – RARE CASE REPORT

Abstract

Osteoblastoma is a tumor often seen in long bones, with little maxillofacial involvement
and rarely located in zygomatic bone. Due to its clinical and histological similarity with
other bone tumors, osteoblastoma represents a diagnostic challenge for the professional.
Total surgical resection is recommended, and the absence of recurrence is due to correct
diagnosis and adequate treatment. The aim of this article is to report the management of
a patient with osteoblastoma involving the zygomatic bone and to carry out a brief
review of the literature.
