Source abstract
CASE: A 12-year-old boy presented with complaints of neck pain with tilting of the neck to the left side for 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion at the subchondral region of the C2 vertebra left lateral mass with a large central calcific nidus suggestive of osteoblastoma. He was managed by complete surgical excision of the lesion, which turned out to be epithelioid osteoblastoma. CONCLUSION: Epithelioid osteoblastoma is an extremely rare histological entity that mimics malignant bone lesions. It is important to understand the diagnostic complexities and clinical significance, especially when the lesion involves a unique location such as an axis.
