A Massive Chondroblastoma in the Proximal Humerus Simulating Malignant Bone Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chondroblastoma is a mostly benign bone neoplasm that typically affects the second decade of life and exhibits a lytic lesion in the epiphysis of long bones. We report an extreme case of massive, destructive chondroblastoma of the proximal humerus in a 9-year-old girl. It was difficult to differentiate using imaging information the lesion from malignant bone tumors such as osteosarcoma. Histopathological examination from biopsy proved chondroblastoma. The tumor was resected after preoperative transcatheter embolization. Reconstructive procedure for the proximal humerus was not performed due to the local destruction. The present case demonstrates clinical and radiological differentiations of the massive chondroblastoma from the other lesions and histopathological understandings for this lesion.

متن کاملChondroblastoma of bone: long-term results and functional outcome after intralesional curettage.
We undertook this retrospective study to determine the rate of recurrence and functional outcome after intralesional curettage for chondroblastoma of bone. The factors associated with aggressive behaviour of the tumour were also analysed. We reviewed 53 patients with histologically-proven chondroblastoma who were treated by intralesional curettage in our unit between 1974 and 2000. They were fo...
متن کاملChondroblastoma of the Lumbar Spine - A Case Report and Review of the Literature -
Chondroblastoma is a benign cartilaginous neoplasm usually arising in the epiphyses of long bones in young subjects. The histogenesis of chondroblastomas is controversial, although cartilage germ cells or epiphyseal cartilage cells are presumed to be the cell of origin. The most common anatomical site involved by chondroblastoma is the proximal humerus followed by the distal femur, proximal fem...

This is the early results of 20 cases of massive osteoarticular allograft performed for reconstruction of lower limb s after resection of bone tumors. These cases include 7 distal femur and hemiarticular ,6 proximal tibio and hemiarticular, 3 total knee joints and 4 proximal femur with total hip replacement. Bone allografts were taken at steril condition from early postmortum cadavers and st...
متن کاملChondroblastoma of the Rib : Case Report
ing from the epiphyseal region of long bones. A review of the literature reveals that the most common locations for this tumor are the knee and proximal humerus (14). The most common age group is the second decade of life. Cases of chondroblastoma of the rib in the literature are few and far between (5-7); the patients in these reports were older than typical patients with epiphyseal chondrobla...
