Osteoblastoma
Diagnosis in short

Osteoblastoma. H&E stain.

LM anastomosing bony trabeculae with variable mineralization, osteoblastic rimming, no nuclear atypia of osteocytes
LM DDx osteoid osteoma, osteosarcoma
Site bone - vertebral column typically, other bones

Clinical history usu. 15-20 years old, males > females
Symptoms usu. pain
Radiology > 1.5 cm (smaller lesions osteoid osteoma), often well-circumscribed, +/-cortical expansion, +/-cortical destruction
Prognosis benign, may be locally destructive
Clin. DDx osteosarcoma

Osteoblastoma is benign primary bone tumour. It is grouped with the chondro-osseous tumours.

General

  • Benign bone tumour - that can be locally destructive and occasionally recurs.[1]
  • Uncommon.[2]
  • Typically age 15-20 and male (male:female = ~2:1).[3]
    • Very large age range.[1]
  • Treatment: resection.[3]

Gross

  • Bone.
    • Vertebral column and sacrum - most common in one large series.[1]
  • Must be greater 1.5 cm by definition.[4]

Radiology

Features:

  • Often well-circumscribed, +/-cortical expansion, +/-cortical destruction.[1]

Note:

  • May be described as malignant by radiology.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  • Anastomosing bony trabeculae with:
    • Osteoblastic rimming.
      • Cells line-up at edge of bone.
