Dorsal Osteoblastoma: A Rare Cause of Painful Scoliosis
Introduction: Osteoblastoma constitutes 1% of all bone tumors and is more commonly localized to the spine. Case Report: We present a case of a 12-year-old boy with painful scoliosis who was investigated further radiologically with computed tomogram and magnetic resonance imaging. The findings sugges...

| description | Introduction:
Osteoblastoma constitutes 1% of all bone tumors and is more commonly localized to the spine.
Case Report:
We present a case of a 12-year-old boy with painful scoliosis who was investigated further radiologically with computed tomogram and magnetic resonance imaging. The findings suggested D7-D8 osteoblastoma. The patient was operated under neuromonitoring with excision of the mass and later histopathologically confirmed. At 1 year follow-up, he is doing well. Osteoblastoma needs suspicion and early diagnosis and complete excision are important for treatment.
Conclusion:
Osteoblastoma is a rare primary benign tumor that predominantly affects the spine. Young males with prolonged nonspecific back pain need prompt through radiological investigation. Surgical resection is the key with a good prognosis and low recurrence rates. |
