“…Although the dura is usually normal in appearance, it may also be thinned [52]. Martin-Ferrer described the only reported case in which osteoblastoma infiltrated the dura mater and extended into the subdural space covering the cerebral cortex [37].…”

“…It can occur within any cranial bone but occurs most commonly in the temporal (31%), frontal (22%), and ethmoid (22%) bones [15,20,37,41,42,57]. It is more common in the skull base than in the cranial vault bones [35,37,39,56]. Whether by origin or by extension, the lesion can involve the orbit, the auditory pathway, and the nasal and paranasal cavities [14].…”

“…The histological pattern is a highly vascular osteoblastic connective tissue stroma with osteoid and primitive bone deposition and osteoblasts without any mitotic activity or atypia 11 . Although it can affect every bone in the body, the most frequent sites include vertebrae, femur, jaw bones and tibia 13 .The skull is rarely affected, and when it happens, usually does at its base than at its vault 12 .The temporal bone is the preferential site for those skull tumors 1,12,13 , and there are reports of clival and even intracerebral osteoblastomas 12,14 .…”

-Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon bone tumor accounting for approximately 1% of all bone tumors. There are only 35 cases of skull osteoblastoma reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 23 year old male with a giant osteoblastoma of temporal bone submitted to a total removal of the tumor after an effective embolization of all external carotid branches. The authors discuss diagnostic and management aspects of this uncommon skull tumor.KEY WORDS: osteoblastoma, temporal bone, embolization. Osteoblastoma gigante de osso temporal: relato de casoRESUMO -Osteoblastoma é tumor benigno raro representando cerca de 1% de todos os tumores ósseos. Até o momento apenas 35 casos com acometimento craniano foram descritos na literatura. Os autores descrevem um caso de osteoblastoma gigante de osso temporal em paciente de 23 anos do sexo masculino. O tumor foi completamente ressecado após embolização de ramos nutrientes oriundos da carótida externa. São discutidos aspectos diagnósticos e terapêuticos deste raro tumor craniano. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: osteoblastoma, osso temporal, embolização.Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon bone tumor accouting for approximately 1% of all bone tumors 1 . This neoplasm was initially reported by Jaffe and Mayer in 1932 under various names such as "osteogenic fibroma of bone" and "giant osteoma osteoid" 2 . The current term was proposed in 1956 by Jaffe 3 and Lichtenstein 4 . Since then, there was an increasing number of cases reported in the literature, most of them arising in the axial skeleton ( spine and major long bones of the lower extremities ).Skull lesions have been sporadically described and count for 2.3 to 20% of all cases 4,5 , most of them in the temporal bone. Their incidence is still controversial but there is no more than 35 cases of skull osteoblastoma reported in the literature. We present a case of a giant temporal osteoblastoma and discuss the best pre and intraoperative management of these patients. CASE REPORTA 23 year old male presented with a 3 years history of headache and swelling in his left temporal region associated with hearing impairment in the ipsilateral ear. The local examination disclosed a hard and painful mass in the left temporal bone with extension to the parietal region. Neurological examination was normal except

We present a case of benign osteoblastoma of the occipital bone. Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon primary bone tumor, which usually involves the vertebrae and the long bones. This tumor rarely develops in the calvaria, showing a preference for the temporal and frontal bones when it does. To the best of our knowledge, this case is only the eighth reported case of benign osteoblastoma confined to the occipital bone. A 20-year-old male presented with a mild tender mass lesion of the occipital area, just below the lambda. Plain X-ray films and CT scans demonstrated an osteolytic mass surrounded by the sclerotic rim within the diploic space. MRI proved to be effective for the evaluation of the intracranial and intraosseous extensions of the tumor. However, it was very difficult to formulate a differential diagnosis against other osteoblastic tumors, or osteoid osteoma, in view of its radiological appearance. The final diagnosis was obtained by careful consideration of the histopathological characteristics of the tumor combined with its clinical and radiological features. Although generally regarded as benign, a complete resection is preferred over conventional curettage as this can guard against possible recurrence and malignant transformation.
