Abstract
Osteoblastoma is a rare tumor. This is a rare tumor in the carpal bones, only nine cases have been reported in the literature. It is a benign but potentially aggressive tumor, its radioclinic translation is not very specific and its diagnosis is histological. We report the case of carpal scaphoid osteoblastoma in a 17-year-old patient revealed by localized pain and partial functional impotence, and confirmed histologically. Our patient underwent first row resection due to the aggressive nature of the tumor.
