Normal osteoid tissue

Normal osteoid tissue.

The results of a histological study of normal osteoid tissue in man, the monkey, the dog, and the rat, using thin microtome sections of plastic-embedded undecalcified bone, are described. Osteoid tissue covers the entire bone surface, except for areas of active resorption, although the thickness of the layer of osteoid tissue varies at different sites and in different species of animals. The hi...

Osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign skeletal neoplasm composed of osteoid and woven bone that rarely exceeds 1.5 cm in greatest dimension. The lesion is most commonly located in the cortex of long bones where it is associated with dense, fusiform, reactive sclerosis. Less often, it may be cancellous, where reactive osteosclerosis is usually less intense and may be distant from the lesion. Cancellous le...

Osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma is a relatively frequent benign bone tumour, consisting of osteoid and woven bone, and surrounded by a halo of reactive sclerotic bone, with an average size of the nidus less than 1.5 cm. It is a condition of late childhood, adolescence and young adult age. It usually occurs in the appendicular skeleton and the spine, and is generally localised in or near the cortex. The lesion ...
