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]
- Size important as per WHO definition:[4] ‡
- >= 2.0 cm: osteoblastoma.
- <=1.0 cm: osteoid osteoma.
- >1 cm and <2 cm: clinical and radiologic criteria should be considered.
Note:
- ‡1.5 cm is a diagnostic size cutoff seen in older references.[5]
Radiology
Features:
- Often well-circumscribed, +/-cortical expansion, +/-cortical destruction.[1]
Note:
- May be described as malignant by radiology.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[6]
- Anastomosing bony trabeculae with:
- Osteoblastic rimming.
- Cells line-up at edge of bone.
- Osteoblastic rimming.
Notes:
- Histomorphologically near identical/indistinguishable from osteoid osteoma.[5]
