AbstractSpinal osteoblastoma is rare clinically, with insidious onset, atypical symptoms, and various imaging manifestations, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis. It can cause severe neurological dysfunction in patients with intermediate to advanced stages and may easily recur after surgery. Imaging examinations such as radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography have different value for the diagnosis of spinal osteoblastoma, but they lack specificity. The preferred treatment is surgical resection, which is technically difficult, and in some cases, osteoblastoma cannot be completely removed. New clinical approaches such as radiofrequency ablation, radiotherapy, targeted chemotherapy, and other comprehensive treatments have emerged and are progressing rapidly, but no unified norms have yet been developed. This manuscript provides a systematic review of the literature and provides an extensive and comprehensive review of this rare tumor in terms of multimodality imaging manifestations and clinical progress.Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
