  • Title: [Osteoblastomas of the coccyx. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].
    Author: Bouvet R, Vergos M, Chapuis O, André JL, Rochat G.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1994 Jan; 131(1):40-3. PubMed ID: 8182100.
    Abstract:
    A 24-year-old man presented with a painful and invalidating coccyx. Exploration revealed a bony lesion involving parts of 2nd and all of the 3rd coccygeal vertebrae. The pathology examination of the surgical specimen revealed the diagnosis of benign osteoblastoma of the coccyx. This exceptional localization required complete surgical resection going into healthy tissues to allow a full histological study and to ensure the absence of relapse. Post-operative follow-up was uneventful and the functional result was excellent.
