Osteoblastoma
Diagnosis in short

Osteoblastoma. H&E stain.

LM anastomosing bony trabeculae with variable mineralization, osteoblast 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
