Purpose. This is a case report of a patient with an osteoid osteoma of the proximal fibula. The objective is to illustrate a rare tumor location that requires open surgery due to closeness of neurological structures. Methods. Clinical and roentgenographic findings, treatment, and histological appearance are presented. Results. Local pain and swelling of the proximal fibula with improvement unde...

we present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. the patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. the radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further ct scan and mri studies demonstrated the tumor. the en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediat...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign lesion of bone generally diagnosed using conventional radiography or conventional tomography. Computed tomography can be used in difficult cases to localize a clinically suspected lesion. In this report we present two patients in whom an osteoid osteoma was detected using computed tomographic scanning; in an additional patient computed tomography failed to localize a...

STUDY DESIGN Descriptive, cases series study. PURPOSE To evaluate clinical findings and results of treatment of patients with spinal osteoid osteoma who underwent surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor with spinal involvement rate of about 10%. It is manifested during adolescence with symptoms such as painful scoliosis. To treat the problem, operation on the patie...

Osteoid osteoma is a small tumor, always benign. Located preferentially on the long bones, femur and tibia, elbow location is rare. We present a case of an Osteoid osteoma in unusual subperiostal localization in the tip of the coronoid process. The lesion was removed by en bloc resection under CT-guidance. This approach enabled us to avoid damaging the proximal structures, to examine the lesion...

Osteomas are the slow growing benign tumours of the lamellar bones. They are the most common benign neoplasm of nose and paranasal sinuses. But osteomas of the temporal bone are rare and that of the zygomatic process are very very rare. In this case, we present a 38 years old female patient with osteoma of the zygmatic process of the left temporal bone. The osteoma was excised under General ana...

AIMS The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation as a minimally invasive therapy for osteoid osteoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained data of 43 symptomatic osteoid osteoma patients who were treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Forty out of 43 patients were na...
