Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a relatively common benign bone lesion and is usually located in long bones, but involvement of the olecranon is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of solitary GCT of bone in the olecranon that was confi rmed by preoperative needle biopsy and postoperative histological examination. Th e treatment included intralesional curettage, allogeneic bone grafting, ...

BACKGROUND This study aims to introduce a novel technique in treating benign bone tumors of the proximal radius by elastic intramedullary nail fixation and iliac graft after tumor resection. METHOD In this retrospective case series, the treatment outcomes of 17 patients with benign bone tumor involving the proximal radius were reported from January 2010 to August 2014. All the patients receiv...

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is generally a benign tumor composed of mononuclear stromal cells and characteristic multinucleated giant cells that exhibit osteoclastic activity. It usually develops in long bones but can occur in unusual locations. The typical appearance is a lytic lesion with a well-defined but nonsclerotic margin that is eccentric in location, extends near the articular surfa...

Vestibular schwannoma (VS) usually present the widening of internal auditory canal (IAC), and these bony changes are typically limited to IAC, not extend to temporal bone. Temporal bone invasion by VS is extremely rare. We report 51-year-old man who revealed temporal bone destruction beyond IAC by unilateral VS. The bony destruction extended anteriorly to the carotid canal and inferiorly to the...

Chondromyxoid fibroma; a rarely found tumor, contributing <1% of all primary bone neoplasm. We reported 4-year female child with 1-year history nasal obstruction and facial swelling. Large enhanced lesion amorphous densities spreading into the right cribriform plate floor sphenoid sinus, laterallyinto lamina papyracea, inferolaterally medial wall maxillary posteriorly nasopharynx superior as...

odontogenic myxoma (om) is an infiltrative benign bone tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the facial skeleton. the radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxoma may produce several patterns, making diagnosis difficult. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) may prove extremely useful in clarifying the intraosseous extent of the tumor and its effects on surrounding structures. here, we r...

BACKGROUND Osteoid osteoma is a primary benign bone lesion, which constitutes about 10% of all primary benign bone tumors and 3% of all primary bone tumors. The spine is involved in 10% of the cases, and the lumbar spine is the most commonly affected whereas the tumor is rarely seen in the cervical spine. With regard to the osteoid osteoma being located at the odontoid process of the axis, limi...

Introduction: Different imaging modalities are used to evaluate salivary gland diseases, including tumors. Ultrasonography (US) is the preferred method on account of its ease of use, affordability, safety profile, and good tolerance among patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of US in differentiating malignant from benign parotid tumors, in the context of previous controversy...
