Bone pain in children is common. The cause may be as benign as growing pains or as life-threatening as a malignancy. When a cause cannot be established by laboratory tests, physical examination or patient history, imaging of the affected body part is often obtained. Distinguishing benign from malignant processes involving the bones of children, based on imaging findings, can be challenging. The...

Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign bone tumor that represents 1-2% of all primary bone tumors. Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody, has been demonstrated to inhibit the growth of giant cell tumors. We report a case of recurrent chondroblastoma of the squamous temporal bone that is currently suppressed with denosumab.

Tumors of the foot and ankle are rare, and the particular clinicopathologic features, therapeutic approach, and outcomes in this setting are not well established. From January 2000 to December 2010, 72 patients with primary musculoskeletal tumors of the foot and ankle, both benign and malignant, were treated at a single institution. Of the 72 patients, 56% were female. The median age was 52 yea...

Most of the head and neck tumors are odontogenic in origin. Non odontogenic tumors of epithelial or mesenchymal origin also form a significant component in this region. The tumors arising from mesenchymal component may originate from various structures like fibrous tissue, adipose tissue, bone and cartilage. Here we report a case of benign tumor originating from bone that is restricted to the c...

Neoplasms in sinonasal cavity are dominated by epithelial type. Sinonasal osteomas common, benign, slow-growing, often asymptomatic neoplasms occurring mainly the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Peripheral nevre sheath tumors soft tissue rarely encountered region. Schwannoma is a benign peripheral tumor. Here, we presented co-occurence of osteoma schwannoma. So far, infiltrated schwannoma region n...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa unicameral bone cysts (ubcs) are benign, osteolytic lesions which are often asymptomatic and are commonly seen in the proximal of humerus and femur. the average age at diagnosis is 9-11 years and there is a male preponderance with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 2-2.5 to 1. we describe a case of 5-year-old girl who presented to orthopedic cl...

among the rare bone tumors, the osteoblastoma is a fascinating tumor. the rarity, the predisposition to occur in any bone and the diagnostic dilemma makes this infrequent tumor interesting. it is sporadically reported in the literature and what is rarer is its occurrence in the pelvis. the unusual location and inconclusive radiographic findings with diffused diagnostic evidences delays the mana...

BACKGROUND Benign primary bone tumors are commonly treated by surgery involving bone grafts or synthetic bone void fillers. Although synthetic bone grafts may provide early mechanical support while minimizing the risk of donor-site morbidity and disease transmission, difficult handling properties and less than optimal transformation to bone have limited their use. METHODS In a prospective ser...

osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that when located on the base of the coracoids process of the scapula is very rare and diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because of its rarity. almost any bone can be involved, but half of cases involve the femur or tibia. the radiologic features of osteoid osteoma are well known, but these tumors may present with unusual features and be easily misd...

breast cancer is common and is considered second cause of cancer related mortality in females. regarding importance of breast cancer, more investigation in this field is recommended. for many years investigators believed that neoplasms were not innervated but new findings have proved otherwise. this descriptive study was carried out to compare number of nerve fibers in benign, malignant and nor...
