“…The clinicopathological findings of these cases, including ours, are summarized in Table 1. 2,4,5,[7][8][9][10][11] The histological findings of a vertebral chondroblastoma are not different from chondroblastomas at usual sites. The tumor is cellular and consists of sheets of uniform round-to polygonal mononuclear cells admixed with scattered giant cells.…”

“…The incidence of vertebral chondroblastoma is 1.4% of all chondroblastomas, and 30 cases have been reported in the English (28 cases) 4 and Korean literature (two cases). 5,6 The most frequent location in the spine is the cervical area, followed by the thoracic spine. 2,4 Involvement of the lumbar spine is extremely rare, and only nine cases have been reported.…”

“…2,4 Involvement of the lumbar spine is extremely rare, and only nine cases have been reported. 2,4,5,[7][8][9][10][11] The clinical findings are somewhat nonspecific and differ depending on the tumor extent and involved level. The radiological findings of vertebral chondroblastomas are nonspecific and not diagnostic.…”

We report a case of chondroblastoma arising in the lumbar spine in a 25-year-old man who presented with low back pain of 5 years duration. Plain radiography and computed tomography revealed a well-defined osteolytic mass surrounded by marginal sclerosis in the third lumbar vertebra. The mass encroached on the left neural foramen on magnetic resonance imaging. Histologically, the tumor consisted of round to oval cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and randomly scattered osteoclastic type giant cells. There were characteristic chicken-wire calcification and aneurysmal bone cyst-like changes. Chondroblastomas of the lumbar spine are extremely rare, and only nine cases have been reported. Spinal chondroblastoma should be distinguished from other benign bone tumors, because it tends to show aggressive biological behavior with high recurrence and mortality rates.

CB predominantly affects males and various age groups. Spinal CB more commonly involves the thoracic and lumbar segments. Spinal CB usually appears as an aggressive and destructive bony lesion with a soft tissue mass on imaging, forming compression on the spinal cord in some cases. Recurrence is not uncommon for spinal CB. Total resection, especially TES, has been confirmed as a powerful method to control the disease, while curettage is more likely to associate with local recurrence. Radiotherapy does not seem to reduce local recurrence.
