Abstract
Osteoblastoma is rare, benign, bone-forming tumor that often occur in the spine. There are few reports of osteoblastomas resulting in pathologic fractures involving long bones. Authos report a unique case of a pathologic fracture due to an osteoblastoma of the humerus shaft. The tumor was treated successfully by curettage, intramedullary nailing and bone allograft.
