Background: osteoblastoma is a bone-forming tumor accounting for about 1% of all primary bone tumors and 3% of benign bone tumors. The gold-standard treatment is surgical excision; nevertheless, minimally invasive radiological techniques such as thermoablation and, more recently, high intensity focused ultrasound are gaining more importance. The aim of the present paper is to analyze surgical indications based on our experience and on the evidences in the literature. Methods: all patients affected by osteoblastoma who underwent surgical excision in January 2009 and December 2018 were reviewed; eleven patients were enrolled in the study. The epidemiological aspects, size of the disease and site of onset, symptoms, surgery type, indications, and results are reported for every case. Results: all treatments were based on a preoperative diagnosis; pain was constant in all cases. Intralesional surgeries were performed in 9 out of 11 cases; the remaining 2 cases underwent wide resection. No early or late complications occurred after the surgical procedure. The indications for surgery were lesions very close to nerves or joints, unclear diagnosis, risk of fracture, lesion too large for radiofrequency thermoablation, or failure of minimally invasive treatments. At a medium follow-up of 88 months, no local recurrences were verified. Conclusions: osteoblastoma is a rare tumor with difficult diagnosis. Identification is based on symptoms, imaging, and histology. When possible, minimally invasive techniques is preferred for treatment but surgery is still considered the gold standard.

“…Bone lesions in the clavicle are rare and not common even though every kind of bone lesion which occurs in the skeleton bone has been described in the clav-icle. Many clavicular lesions have been reported in the literature despite that most articles are of single case reports or very small number of patients (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) even though some larger samples have been reported (1,2,16). The great variety of diseases in the clavicle makes radiological diagnosis challenging especially because of limited experience of individual radiologists with these tumors and tumor-like lesions.…”

Background: The clinical and imaging presentations of primary tumors and tumor-like lesions in the clavicle are not clear. Objectives: To investigate the clinical and imaging presentations of primary tumors and tumor-like lesions in the clavicle for better diagnosis. Patients and Methods: Patients with clavicular diseases between 1963 and 2018 confirmed by pathology who had plain radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging were enrolled. The age, sex, imaging data, radiological signs and location of the tumor at the clavicle of patients were analyzed and compared. Results: Eighty-one patients with clavicular diseases were identified including 49 males and 32 females with an age range of 2 - 76 years (mean, 42.6). There were malignant tumors in 50 cases (61.7%), intermediate in 12 (14.8%), and benign in 19 cases (23.5%). Malignant tumors included metastatic tumors in 31 cases (38.3%), plasma-cell myeloma in ten (12.3%), and osteosarcoma in four (4.9%). The intermediate bone tumors were mainly eosinophilic granuloma in six cases (7.4%), and aneurysmal bone cyst in three (3.7%). Benign tumors were mainly osteochondroma (6.2%), bone cyst (3.7%), and chondroma (3.7%). Malignant tumors had bone destruction, periosteal reaction, ill-defined margins and soft tissue masses. Benign tumors and tumor-like lesions had well-defined margins. Conclusions: Many tumors may occur at the clavicle with more malignant than benign tumors with no specific imaging features in most lesions. A lesion near the sternal end with atypical benign imaging features should be considered as malignant.
