  • Title: Clinicoradiological diagnosis of benign osteoblastoma of the spine in children.
    Author: Mohan V, Sabri T, Marklund T, Sayed M, Gupta RP.
    Journal: Arch Orthop Trauma Surg; 1991; 110(5):260-4. PubMed ID: 1931369.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of benign osteoblastoma of the spine in children are reported, diagnosed on the basis of clinicoradiological findings and confirmed at surgery and by histopathology. The authors feel that in all cases of painful scoliosis and painful torticollis, a careful search should be made for any suspicious area of sclerosis, especially in the posterior elements of the vertebrae, and all the positive or suspected cases should undergo nuclear bone scanning. All patients whose bone scan is positive should be subjected to computed tomography for differential diagnosis between osteoid osteoma and benign osteoblastoma.
