  • Most common location (in bone): diaphysis.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Anastomosing bony trabeculae with:
    • Variable mineralization.
      • Mineralization (calcium phosphate) = purple on H&E stain.
    • Osteoblasts rimming.
      • Cells line-up at edge of bone.

Note:

  • Histomorphologically near identical/indistinguishable from osteoblastoma;[5] one needs some history to make the diagnosis.

The sections show anastomosing bony trabeculae with variable mineralization and osteoblastic rimming. Multinucleated osteoclasts are scattered through the lesion. Hemosiderin-laden macrophages are present. No osteocyte nuclear atypia is apparent. Mitotic activity is not apparent. The osteoid is not lace-like.
