We report a 14-year-old boy who presented with pain in the left foot and ankle for about 9 months. The clinical symptoms of the patient suggested complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging studies ravealed a bone tumor in the talus, consistent with an osteoblastoma. The patient underwent operative treatment with curettage and grafting. The complaints of the patient completely resolved by 6 months after surgery, and there was no recurrence at the postoperative 23th month follow-up.

“…[10] Talus is the unusual site of presentation, and neck of the talus is more commonly involved than the body of talus. [5611] The case which is being reported presented with unusual presentation of osteoblastoma in body of talus in an elderly male of 50 years. The tumor was expansile on X-ray and also involved the lower end of tibia and fibula with soft tissue involvement, and clinical differential diagnosis of the aggressive tumor including GCT or osteosarcoma was considered.…”

“…[34] Moreover, if talus is involved, then neck is the usual site of presentation while body of the talus is rarely involved. [56] The cytological diagnosis of osteoblastoma is limited and only few single cases have been reported in the literature while fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of osteoblastoma in talus has still not been reported.

Cytological diagnosis of osteoblastoma of the talus: Case report with unusual presentation and diagnostic pitfalls

et al. 2018

Osteoblastoma is a rare bone tumor mostly affecting the young adults and commonly involving the spinal cord and long bones. Talus is the uncommon site of presentation, and if involved, then the neck is more commonly involved than the body of talus. The cytological diagnosis of osteoblastoma is limited, and to the best of our knowledge, its fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in the talus has still not been reported in the literature. The present case of osteoblastoma is, therefore, being reported due to the unusual presentation in elderly male in the body of talus and showing extensive involvement on X-ray. The case was initially diagnosed on FNA cytology excluding the possibility of giant-cell tumor and osteosarcoma. The case also highlights the importance of vigilant observation of subtle cytological features of this rare tumor which may be helpful in avoiding diagnostic pitfalls, especially at an uncommon site and with unusual presentation. An early precise diagnosis by cytology may be followed by appropriate treatment and thus avoiding any further complications.

Osteoblastomas (OBs) are benign neoplasms constituting approximately 1% of primary bone tumors with a predilection for the spine and sacrum. We describe an OB of the proximal phalanx of the left thumb in a 38‐year‐old female. MRI of left hand demonstrated a 29‐mm mildly expansile enhancing lesion involving the entire proximal phalanx of the first digit. Histology displayed a bone‐forming tumor consisting of trabeculae of remodeled woven bone framed by plump osteoblasts in a vascularized background. Next‐generation sequencing analysis identified a PRSS44::ALK fusion gene.
