Abstract:Nonmalignant bone tumors represent a wide variety of different entities but maintain many common features. They usually affect young patients, and most can be diagnosed through imaging exams. Often asymptomatic, they can be discovered incidentally. Due to their similarities, these tumors may be challenging to diagnose and differentiate between each other, thus the need for a complete and clear description of their main characteristics. The aim of this review is to give a picture of the benign bone tumors that … Show more
“…erefore in our study, where bone cysts accounted for 76% of all cases, in more than 23% of patients, the rst symptom of the disease was a pathological fracture. It is also worth emphasizing that benign bone lesions grow over many years, which is why they are o en diagnosed accidentally due to performing a radiograph for another reason [22]. In our study, half of the patients didn't know about the tumors in the bone before performing an X-ray on account of injury.…”

“…e main limitation of our study is the sample size, but this is due to a fact of a low occurrence of benign bone tumors in the general population, and with some of them giving close to no clinical implications, the number of correctly diagnosed patients is even lower [22]. In our study, we also wanted to present the possibility of using the CER-AMENT in various cases of benign bone tumors and cysts.…”
Introduction. Treatment of benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions is undertaken by numerous Orthopedic surgeons worldwide. Several treatment modalities exist including curettage and bone grafting. CERAMENT is a novel bioresorbable bone substitute used for grafting. Aim. Assessment of preliminary result of treatment of benign bone tumors and tumors like lesions utilizing CERAMENT as a bone substitute. Analysis of therapeutic and diagnostic path and symptoms reported by patients with tumors and tumor-like lesions. Materials and methods. To the retrospective study 38 patients undergoing curettage and bone substitution with CERAMENT® BONE VOID FILLER were included (26% of them were females). We utilized patients’ history. Each patient had an X-ray in the twelfth month after surgery, which was analyzed using the modified Neer classification. The follow-up was 24 months. Results. The unicameral bone cyst was the most commonly encountered lesion (36.8%). Pain was the most common symptom reported (28.9%). Half of all cases were discovered accidentally on X-rays ordered for a different indication. Nearly a quarter of the cases (23.7%) were complicated by pathologic fracture. The distribution of scores in modified Neer score was as follow: SCORE I- 52.6% SCORE II- 15.8% SCORE III-10.6% SCORE IV-2.6%. Complications of procedure were noted in 18.4% of patients. 10.5% of patients had serious discharge from the operated site, 7.9% of patients had surgical wound infection. One case of recurrence was noted. Conclusions. Bone substitute – CERAMENT is suitable for use in the treatment of benign bone tumors and tumors like lesions. It is easy in application and is well tolerated by the patients. The problem is the relatively high rate of complications, mainly serous leakage from the wound.

“…Diagnosis of benign osteoblastoma is difficult due to its uniqueness, perplexing clinical-radiologic presentation, and histopathologic characteristics that occasionally mimic osteosarcoma and other bone tumors. Cementoblastoma, osteoid osteoma, and benign osteoblastoma have histologic similarities, thus implying a relationship between these pathologic conditions [ 8 ]. Owing to the benign nature and location of this tumor, curettage or conservative surgical excision remains the treatment modality, and en bloc resection is seldom performed.…”
“…Osteoid osteomas are benign tumors of osseous origin, which come third in place of incidence after non-ossifying fibromas and endochondromas (De Salvo et al, 2022). They are slow growing and can occur in any bone of the face and the cranium either superficially or intraosseous6.…”
An osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor that usually causes nocturnal severe pain. The majority are found in the head and neck region and represent the most common benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses. We report the case of a 14-year-old female patient admitted for refractory headache and diagnosed with an osteoid osteoma of the frontal sinus, which have been treated successfully using surgical intervention. As for our patient, en block wide excision was enough to resect the whole tumor as it was confined to the frontal sinus.
