This digital library houses the book on Oncology and Orthopedic Oncosurgery.

It includes academic lectures, presentations from national and international congresses, published papers, case discussions, performed surgical procedures, and proprietary techniques developed.

The digital format was chosen because the web allows the inclusion of texts with numerous visual resources, such as images and videos, which would not be possible in a printed book.

The content is intended for students, healthcare professionals, and the general public interested in the field.

Osteoma

Osteoma Benign, slow-growing lesion, with mature bone tissue, with a lamellar structure, well differentiated. It is bone, dense , within the bone, whether in the cortical or medullary region .

Osteoma

It can manifest itself in three distinct clinical forms:

  • Exostoses  (dense, homogeneous bone, with an  ivory appearance ): this is the conventional osteoma, restricted to bones of intramembranous origin (facial bones, skullcap), figures 1 to 10.

  • Parosteal  (juxtacortical) occurs on the external surface of long or short bones, figure 12.

    Figura 13 : Osteoma medular do colo femoral, enostose óssea.
    Figure 13: Medullary osteoma of the femoral neck, bone enostosis.
    • Medullary : known as enostosis or bone islet. Lesions histologically similar to mature bone, dense and homogeneous, without significant clinical signs and generally resulting from radiographic findings, figures 13 to 16.
    Figura 14 : Osteoma medular do corpo vertebral, enostose óssea.

    he differential diagnoses, both from a clinical, histological and radiographic point of view, include the following conditions:

    • Bone sclerosis  (inflammatory or post-traumatic cause)
    • Hyperostoses
    • Meningioma
    • Osteoid osteoma.

    Treatment consists of observation when asymptomatic or surgical resection when indicated due to aesthetic or functional changes (compression or obstruction – nasal fossa).
