AI Article Synopsis
- Epithelioid osteoblastoma (EOB) is a rare and benign bone tumor marked by atypical osteoblasts in a vascular environment, needing differentiation from aggressive tumors like osteosarcoma.
- A case study highlights a 30-year-old man's large mandibular EOB, causing pain and disfigurement, which was managed through radical surgery and reconstruction.
- This situation underscores the necessity of collaborative healthcare approaches, careful surgical planning, and consideration of socioeconomic factors in patient treatment and recovery.
Article Abstract
Epithelioid osteoblastoma (EOB) is a rare, benign bone tumor characterized by the proliferation of atypical epithelioid osteoblasts within a vascular stroma. It typically presents as a slow-growing painful mass and requires careful differentiation from more aggressive lesions like osteosarcoma for appropriate management. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 30-year-old man who presented with a mandibular EOB measuring 23 cm × 17 cm x 19 cm, causing significant disfigurement and functional impairment. Surgical management involved radical resection and immediate reconstruction using an osteocutaneous fibula free flap. The case emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care, advanced surgical planning, and the impact of socioeconomic factors on healthcare access and outcomes.
