Abstrakt: Two cases of tumors caused by osteoblastoma in children less than 3 years old are presented. This report points out that although most osteoblastomas appear in patients less than 30 years old, it is uncommon for the lesion to present in the very young. The authors note that osteoblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lytic lesion because patients may be too young to communicate their complaints.
