Ossifying fibroma of the vertebra is a very rare condition. We report a 16-year-old boy with ossifying fibroma of the third lumbar vertebra. Neurological and laboratory examinations demonstrated normal findings. Low-back pain, in the absence of radicular pain, was the presenting symptom. Plain radiography and computerized tomography scanning revealed an osteolytic lesion. The tumor in the third lumbar vertebra was curetted and filled with bone allograft. The histopathological diagnosis was consistent with ossifying fibroma. There was no postoperative complication. The case is the second to be reported. The clinical and radiological aspects of this rare tumor are discussed with the pertinent literature.
脊椎骨化性纤维瘤是一种非常罕见的病症。我们报告一例16岁患有第三腰椎骨化性纤维瘤的男孩。神经学和实验室检查结果均正常。主要症状是无神经根性疼痛的下背部疼痛。X线平片和计算机断层扫描显示为溶骨性病变。对第三腰椎的肿瘤进行了刮除术并植入了同种异体骨。组织病理学诊断与骨化性纤维瘤相符。术后无并发症。该病例是第二例报告。结合相关文献对这种罕见肿瘤的临床和放射学特征进行了讨论。
