Abstract
Osteoblastoma is an infrequent benign tumor, rarely found in the hand. We present a case of osteoblastoma of the scaphoid in a 58-year-old adult male patient, its diagnostic challenge, and his treatment pathway from curettage and autologous bone graft until scaphoidectomy and four-corner fusion. The tumor showed an aggressive behavior and local destruction in an unusual location. It appeared in a patient outside the expected age range for this specific tumor, rendering a correct diagnosis extremely difficult to achieve. We pretend to emphasize its treatment evolution and highlight the importance of follow-up and surveillance of these tumor lesions.
