“…The most frequent X-ray manifestations of the osteoblastoma of the patella are that of an osteolytic lesion, with or without matrix mineralization and pathological fracture of the patella, surrounded by a high-density sclerotic margin with no evidence of extra-articular invasion (7,15). Aggressive spinal osteoblastoma can break through the bony cortex and invade the spinal canal and paravertebral soft tissue (16,17). CT scans are superior to MRI in showing calcification of osteoblastoma and thus are used to further confirm a well-defined lesion with fine calcifications.…”

Osteoblastoma of the patella, a rare benign bone tumor with an uncommon site: A case report

et al. 2023

Osteoblastoma is a rare, benign, bone-forming tumor that is frequently observed in the spine and long tubular bones. There are very few reports available on osteoblastoma of the patella. The present study reported an extremely rare case of a 22-year-old male adult who presented with an osteoblastoma of the patella. He was treated via intralesional curettage of the patella with subsequent bone grafting. After the intervention, he made an uneventful recovery with no recurrence after a follow-up of 2 years. Making an accurate diagnosis of osteoblastoma of the patella is challenging and important for determining the correct treatment modality and prognosis, therefore, the present case may be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoblastoma of the patella.
