Tumors of Osteoblastic Origin

  • Chapter
Primary Bone Tumors and Tumorous Conditions in Children

Abstract

Osteoma is an absolutely benign bone lesion that may arise within a bone or the periosteum. This is a lesion that can grow like a tumor or can be a local reaction, with osseous overgrowth from trauma, infection or an invading tumor such as a meningioma. Therefore osteoma as a true bone tumor is debatable, and some authors have considered it to be a hamartoma of bone or the sclerotized end stage of fibrous bone dysplasia. In cases of an obviously solitary tumor growth it is a benign lesion consisting of well-differentiated mature bone of compact or spongiosal type,with very slow growth. This leads to a continuous deformation of the involved bone area and may cause symptoms such as pain or nerval compression. Consequently, the lesions have to be removed operatively.
