  • Title: Osteoblastoma of the clavicle.
    Author: Faber KJ, Patterson SD, Heathcote JG, Richards RR.
    Journal: J South Orthop Assoc; 2003; 12(2):66-70. PubMed ID: 12882242.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old female with a 1-year history of a painful clavicle mass underwent resection and reconstruction with an intercalated autograft and rigid plate fixation. The histopathology was diagnostic for osteoblastoma. Although a clavicle mass is a common entity following clavicle trauma, less common disorders such as bone tumors need to be considered in the differential diagnosis. Osteoblastoma is an uncommon, benign bone tumor representing 1% of all primary bone tumors. An extensive review of the literature reveals only one reported case of clavicular osteoblastoma.
