BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spinal osteoid osteomas are rare; when they occur, they are usually treated by surgical or percutaneous excision. The aim of percutaneous interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) of osteoid osteomas under CT guidance is thermal destruction of the nidus using low-power laser energy, thus precluding bone resection and open surgery. METHODS Three cases of spinal osteoid o...

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...

Bone formation is impaired in aluminum-associated bone disease. Reductions in the number of osteoblasts or in the function of individual osteoblasts could account for this finding. Thus, quantitative bone histology and measurements of bone formation were done at three skeletal sites in piglets given aluminum (Al) parenterally, 1.5 mg/kg per d, for 8 wk (Al, n = 4) and in control animals (C, n =...

Spindle cell carcinoma (SCSCC) with osteoid and/or cartilage formation in the head and neck is rare; only one case was reported tongue. Herein, we report an SCSCC of tongue developed 85-year-old man, then review report.

Three cases of osteoid osteoma and one of benign osteoblastoma in children are described. The main complaint was severe pain which was worse at night; it was relieved by aspirin or other analgesics. The diagnosis was made on clinical and radiological grounds and was confirmed on histological examination of the central nidus removed at operation. The pain was relieved in the patients with osteoi...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour; its main symptom is pain, which is sometimes resistant to analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication. The surgical treatment consists of en bloc excision or curettage of the lesion. Several alternative methods have been proposed, among which CT guided-percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. We report on ten patients who were diagnosed clinically and radiolo...

A 24-year-old man presented with a stress fracture over his left tibia following an infantry training 6 years ago. X-rays of his left tibia revealed a stress fracture and bone scan showed marked tracer uptake at the fracture. He was treated conservatively but his pain persisted since then. Five years later, X-rays and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. The stre...

The osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour that usually presents with nocturnal pain in young adults, relieved by rest and anti-inflammatories. It can affect any bone; however, their occurrence is rare in the acromion. The authors describe a case of osteoid osteoma located in the acromion, with symptoms that simulated acromion claviculararthrosis. The diagnosis was made by CT scan and treatmen...

Osteoid osteoma: a case for conservative management SIR, Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour with a predilection for long bones, occurring predominantly in children and young adults. The conventional paradigm holds that, once suspected on clinical and radiological grounds, surgical excision is necessary, both for its cure and to exclude other, more sinister pathologies. We report the case o...

Osteosarcoma refers to a bone tumor and the term was introduced by John Abernathy in 1804 referring fleshy growth [1]. In 2009, Ottaviane G. et al reported that osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy arises from primitive transformed cells of mesenchymal origin produces malignant osteoid, which are most common representation primary cancer [2,3].
