Chondroblastoma of bone is an uncommon condition that has a predilection for secondary ossification centers, particularly of the humerus, tibia, and femur. Treatment usually involves surgical curettage and autogenous bone graft. This article reports the case of a chondroblastoma affecting the talus of a young man and a minimally invasive surgical approach for the treatment of this lesion. The p...

Chondroblastomas are rare tumors that present in the epiphysis of the long bones. Bone grafting following aggressive surgical curettage has yielded the best results. When present in the femoral head, they pose a higher risk of recurrence due to the difficulty of achieving an adequate resection without destroying the structural integrity of the weight-bearing surface. This article describes a ca...

BACKGROUND Multinucleated giant cell-containing tumors and pseudotumors of bone represent a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant lesions. Differential diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in instances of limited sampling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the P63 in the positive and differential diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone. METHODS This study...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological results from patients who underwent surgical treatment of chondroblastoma, between 2003 and 2009, by the same surgical team, using the same operative technique. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 12 patients with histological diagnoses of chondroblastoma, who were attended between 2003 and 2009 at the Pius XII Foundati...

Chondroblastoma of the proximal tibia is difficult to treat because of its epiphyseal predilection. This condition can be treated by curettage, which results in immediate restoration of stability and a reduced recurrence rate, followed by cement filling of the bone defect. Nevertheless, contact with cement can damage articular cartilage, potentially leading to severe knee osteoarthritis. Most p...

case presentation here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man complaining of bilateral incomplete eye closure, two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. introduction although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. a temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributi...

conclusions in surgery for facial nerve neuroma in the mastoid segment, it is better not to rely on imaging alone; all facial nerves from the geniculate ganglion to the styloid foramen become exposed for tumor removal. case presentation in this report, we describe a rare facial nerve neuroma in the mastoid portion in a 55-year-old man with a history of hypertension (htn) and diabetes mellitus (...

We report a case of an aneurysmal cyst localized in the patella of a 37-year-old man. The lesion was secondary to a chondroblastoma at six years follow-up after initial curettage and bone graft. It were no recurrence. Treatment of aneurysmal cysts depends on the degree of articular involvement. We made a detailed study of 11 cases of this rare localization of aneurysmal cysts reported in the li...

BACKGROUND Aggressive chondroblastoma of the distal tibia is rare, and below-knee amputation had been the standard surgical procedure. CASE PRESENTATION We reported an additional case and reviewed the existing literature. A 20-year-old man with a 2-month history of right ankle pain and swelling underwent distal tibia wide resection, double pedicle fibular, autogenous iliac bone graft, and ank...

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinico-pathological and histological features of Chondroblastoma (CB). STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from 2000 to 2013. METHODOLOGY The histological slides of all reported cases of CB were retrieved and reviewed for morphological features. Clinical features were noted from surgical pathology rep...
