I have very much enjoyed reading this scientific communication [1]. That is a very well studied and descriptive case that brings an excellent example of an academic medical management in an oncological case, offering a comprehensive summary of the topic as well.One remarkable point in this discussion is the fact that, even though the first radiological exams could not achieve a clear diagnostic, the symptoms were wisely valuated, leading to a new set of radiological screening that still showed no clear pathognomonic alteration, just a non-specific edema right sided of the C2 vertebral body in the MRI. The suspicion of an undiagnosed pathology was only confirmed when the CT was performed, determining afterwards the need of both exams due to their complementarity on such complex cases [2].The most clarifying exam was the CT, which revealed that the tumor was situated in the lamina and the transverse process of the C2. The mass displayed bubble-type calcifications and was almost completely surrounded by a foamlike zone. The adjacent bone appeared to be sclerotic, while there were no visible fresh fracture lines. The main images showed clear limits of the lesion, strongly suggesting an osteoblastoma that allowed the authors to withdraw the obligation of the biopsy, avoiding additional morbidity [3]. At this point, the angiotomography was crucial and very elucidating to build a surgical planning. That exam showed the osteolytic formation with the sclerotic periphery and the central ossification caused a narrowing of the right C2 transverse foramen, with displacement but no infiltration or stenosis of the right vertebral artery. The information supplied by this exam was crucial to decide about embolization [4,5].Another solid point regarding the management of this case was the clear structured strategic planning. As the CT image was so suggestive of osteoblastoma, the biopsy was avoided. I am sure that the option of any ablation procedure was excluded due to the proximity of the vertebral artery [6][7][8]. The surgical resection was planned to be intra-lesional, which in this case was a very smart decision as the attempt of a marginal resection, usually indicated for this pathology, could harm a noble anatomic structure [9]. This tumor was classified as a benign lesion, locally aggressive, the treatment of which is ideally performed by a marginal resection. However, in this case, the total macroscopic intra-lesional resection is acceptable and also a good option to avoid noble structures.As part of this well-designed surgical planning is also the use of a precise ultrasonic scalpel. This is a very useful tool that helps the surgeon to perform a better and safer dissection around the osteotomy [10].The use of intra-operative CT scans crowns the high level of professionalism printed in this case management.
