Summary
Osteoblastoma has become a well defined bone tumor since its first description by Jaffe and Mayer in 1932 [4]. This tumor was considered to occur in almost any bone of the skeleton. Only one previous case of sternal osteoblastoma was described in the literature. Herein we report, as far as we know, the second reported case of osteoblastoma in the sternum, as an isolated tumor.
Zusammenfassung
Seit der ersten Beschreibung von Jaffé and Mayer 1932 [4] ist das Osteoblastom als klarer gut definierter Knochentumor bekannt. Osteoblastome kommen in fast allen Knochen des Skelettes vor, es wurde jedoch bisher in der Literatur nur 1 Fall von Osteoblastom des Sternum publiziert. Bei dem hier beschriebenen Fall handelt es sich unseres Wissens nach um den zweiten Bericht über ein Osteoblastom des Sternum als isolierter Tumor.
