The findings are consistent with an osteoblastoma. The radiographs show a bone-forming lesion of the distal humerus. The lesion has an osseous component extending out of the native cortex with a thin sclerotic border. The T2-weighted MRI scan shows the lesion extending anteriorly beyond the native cortex. No fluid-fluid levels are seen. Histology shows large osteoblasts producing osteoid and woven bone. The tissue between the spicules of bone and osteoid contains thin fibrous tissue and capillaries. Osteoid osteoma is a smaller lesion usually with sclerotic reactive bone around a small nidus. The histology differentiates osteoblastoma from osteosarcoma because no malignant cells are seen. There is no cartilage production or chondroblasts in the histologic specimen, eliminating chondroblastoma. Giant cell tumors of bone typically occur in a epiphyseal metaphyseal location, most commonly after skeletal maturity, and contain numerus giant cells.
