osteoblastoma
Osteoblastoma is a rare and benign type of bone tumor that typically develops in the spine or long bones. It originates from the cells that form new bone tissue, known as osteoblasts. Osteoblastoma can occur in any age group but often affects young adults and teenagers. Symptoms may include bone pain, swelling and joint stiffness. Although benign, osteoblastomas can be locally aggressive and may need to be removed via surgery.

Osteoblastoma
A rare benign bone-forming neoplasm usually arising from the spine. It is a well-circumscribed lytic tumor that varies in size. The tumor is composed of woven bone trabeculae and shares similar histologic characteristics with the osteoid osteoma. Surgical curettage is the treatment of choice. The prognosis is excellent.
