Introduction Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoid-forming tumor generally localized to the long bones, is rarely localized in the hand and the major symptom is intermittent pain. This study aims to present two patients who were operated on for metacarpal osteoid osteomas. Case Outline A 16-year-old female patient and an 18-year-old male patient were operated on for metacarpal osteoid osteomas. T...

Introduction Osteoid osteoma was first described by Jaffe in 1935 to describe benign bony tumor characterized by presence of a nidus of osteoid vascular bone with dense sclerotic bone in its periphery [1]. It comprises 10% of all benign bone tumors and 1% of all spinal tumors [2]. The presentation is back pain which ranges from intermittent to continuous and intense; localized around level of l...

The paper presents the clinical case of a 14-y.old female patient complaining on omalgia, in whom a focus of osteoid osteoma was diagnosed, localized in the acromion. The lesion was removed using the arthroscopic technique, achieving a complete disappearance of ailment.

CONTEXT Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of osteoid osteoma has a high technical and clinical success rate. However, there is limited data on its use in the pediatric population, especially in technically challenging locations. OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous RFA of osteoid osteoma in pediatric population. PATIENTS AND ME...

Osteoid osteoma frequently requires surgical treatment, especially among young, active patients. However, surgeons are reluctant to perform open surgery for an osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck area because the conventional surgical approach requires a large incision in muscular patients, and percutaneous resection with a trephine has the attendant risk of subsequent fracture. Recently, arthr...

Giant orbitoethmoidal osteoma in children is considered to be rare. This type of pathology can be associated with significant disfiguring proptosis and limitation of eye movement. Here, we report on a child who presented with a giant orbitoethmoidal osteoma that was removed through an orbitofrontal approach. The cosmetic result was excellent and evident immediately after surgery. A review of th...

Osteoid osteoma is a small, benign bone neoplasm that consists of a well-demarcated nidus surrounded by a reactive zone of sclerosis.1,2 It is of unknown etiology and accounts for approximately 10% of symptomatic benign bone tumors.3 Initial treatment of patients with osteoid osteoma consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).4 If the pain is unresponsive to medical therapy or if...
