Case: A 15-year-old boy with chondroblastoma of the right hemipelvis presented with significant periacetabular bone destruction. Neoadjuvant denosumab treatment facilitated initial joint preserving surgery. Unfortunately, he experienced 2 local recurrences and underwent wide surgical resection 2 years after his initial diagnosis.
Conclusion: Inhibition of the receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANK-L) pathway with denosumab has been used neoadjuvantly for the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone, but its role in the treatment of chondroblastoma is less understood. This patient's clinical response and effect on cellular RANK/RANK-L activity support the consideration of denosumab in the treatment algorithm for other osteolytic bone tumors such as chondroblastoma.

Chondroblastomas are very rare benign primary bone tumors that typically develop in bones in young adults. Extraosseous chondroblastomas are extremely rare, with a few case reports documented in the literature. The treatment is surgical with a high healing rate.

Article Synopsis
- * This study involved 6 children with femoral head CBL who underwent curettage, anhydrous alcohol application, and bone grafting, with outcomes measured using MSTS scores and the Lodwick classification for bone destruction.
- * Results showed varying statuses of the epiphyseal plate, a mean MSTS score of 28, and one incident of a femoral neck fracture post-surgery, indicating that this technique is an effective treatment option for CBL in this difficult location.

Article Synopsis
- - Chondroblastoma is a rare bone tumor found at the ends of bones, accounting for about 1% of primary bone tumors. It can be invasive, and there's a risk of recurrence after traditional open surgery, which can also cause damage to the bone structure.
- - In this case study, a 14-year-old male underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure to remove a chondroblastoma from the proximal tibia. The surgery involved careful lesion excision and bone cavity management, using a substitute for autologous bone grafts.
- - After one year of follow-up, the patient showed no symptoms or knee issues, and imaging confirmed successful bone graft healing without recurrence, suggesting that arthroscopic surgery could be a viable

Article Synopsis
- Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign tumor that originates from immature chondrocytes, often found in long bone epiphyses, but its occurrence in the skull is very uncommon.
- A 10-year-old girl experienced dizziness, occipital pain, and a notable mass, leading to the discovery of an osteolytic lesion in her occipital bone, which was combined with a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst.
- After surgery to remove the tumor, the patient had no neurological issues or complications, and follow-up MRI scans showed no signs of recurrence, highlighting the need for prompt surgical treatment in similar pediatric cases.
