Abstract
Osteoblastoma is a rare benign osseous neoplasm that accounts for 1%-3% of all primary bone tumors. Osteoblastomas can involve any part of the skeleton, but mainly occurs in the spine and other long bones, rarely in extra-skeletal areas. Extra-skeletal osteoblastomas arise from tissues outside of the bone, and only a few cases have been reported previously. To our knowledge, only one case of osteoblastoma in the breast has been described in the English literature. Here, we report another case of a breast osteoblastoma in a middle-aged woman, which was initially detected by ultrasound examination and digital mammography, and then was confirmed by histopathology. In this report, the imaging features and differential diagnosis of breast osteoblastoma are discussed.
