Abstract
Osteoblastoma as a cause of back pain, scoliosis, and reversible neurological deficit has received scant attention in the neurosurgical literature. The tumor has a predeliction for the spine, occurs in young people, and may undergo sarcomatous change. Total removal is necessary for cure. Eight cases of spinal osteoblastoma in children and adults are reported, demonstrating the spectrum of the disease, pitfalls of diagnosis and treatment, and prognosis.Entities:
