Popis: Osteoblastoma is an infrequent benign, solitary, vascular, osteoid forming bone tumour which is rich in osteoblasts. It is an uncommon tumour and most often involves the vertebrae, long tubular bones and small bones of the hands and feet [3, 4,]. However, osteoblastoma may also a ect the skull, and there are a few reported cases of this type [2, 5]. We report a frontal benign osteoblastoma presenting with exophthalmus and frontal deformity.
