Osteoblastoma is an extremely rare entity that represents less than 1% of all bone tumors, and affects twice as many males as females with peak incidence between 15 and 20 years. Osteoblastomas commonly affect axial bones, long bones, bones of the foot and hand, and less commonly the pelvis, scapula, ribs, and clavicle. Osteoblastoma does not have a classic presentation, but can vary with the location and size of the tumor. The main complaint is often progressive pain localized at the tumor site. Osteoblastoma is a benign tumor with an aggressive behavior. The treatment is wide surgical resection, otherwise it continues to enlarge and destroy the bone and surrounding structures. We report a 32-year-old male with an osteoblastoma of this sternum who was treated with an en-bloc resection and reconstruction with Marlex((R)) and a methylmethacrylate plate.
骨母细胞瘤是一种极其罕见的实体瘤，占所有骨肿瘤的比例不到1%，男性患者数量是女性的两倍，发病高峰在15至20岁之间。骨母细胞瘤通常累及中轴骨、长骨、手足骨，较少累及骨盆、肩胛骨、肋骨和锁骨。骨母细胞瘤没有典型的表现，而是会因肿瘤的位置和大小而有所不同。主要症状通常是肿瘤部位的进行性疼痛。骨母细胞瘤是一种具有侵袭性的良性肿瘤。治疗方法是广泛的手术切除，否则它会继续增大并破坏骨骼及周围结构。我们报告一例32岁男性胸骨骨母细胞瘤患者，接受了整块切除并用Marlex((R))和甲基丙烯酸甲酯板进行重建。
