    Author: Saghieh S, Rameh C, Birjawi G, Lakkis S.
    Journal: Int Surg; 2005; 90(5):289-92. PubMed ID: 16625949.
    Abstract:
    Osteoblastoma is an uncommon neoplasm of the bone accounting for only 0.5-2% of all primary bone tumors. It constitutes 9% of all primary bone tumors arising in the sacrum. The symptoms have a wide spectrum of variety and the diagnosis is often delayed. We report a case of sacral osteoblastoma in a 20-year-old man who presented with classical symptoms of postero-lateral herniation of L5-S1 vertebral disc. The clinical and radiographic findings are discussed as well as the surgical treatment.
