Osteoblastoma: el raro tumor benigno que afecta a Julio Iglesias

Oncologist Darío Niewiadomski explains what osteoblastoma is, a rare, benign tumor that affects the bones and has recently become known for affecting singer Julio Iglesias. Although it usually appears between the ages of 10 and 25, the case of the artist, who is over 80 years old, is exceptional. It is a tumor that does not metastasize or invade nearby tissues, but it can cause pain, inflammation, or fractures, especially if it appears in complex areas like the spine. The main treatment is surgery, and although the disease is curable, early detection is key.
