Osteoid osteoma was first described as a distinctive benign osteoblastic tumour by Jaffe (1935). Lichtenstein (1965) defined osteoid osteoma as a small, oval or roundish tumour-like nidus composed of osteoid and trabeculae of newly formed bone deposited within a substratum of highly vascularised osteogenic connective tissue. This lesion has been reported in almost every bone but not previously ...

Osteoid osteoma is a small common benign osteoblastic tumor. Foot osteoid osteomas represent a minority of cases. Patients are usually male children and young adults within the third decade. In our case report we describe an osteoid osteoma of the calcaneus in a young adult, semi-professional basketball player. Starting from the case description, we aim to: 1) Analyse the reasons of initial mis...

Osteoid osteoma is a common benign osteogenic bone neoplasm characterized histologically by increased osteoid tissue formation with an intracortical nidus surrounded by cortical thickening and vascular fibrous stroma and sclerosis. The clinical presentation classically includes severe nocturnal pain that is improved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Younger men (second and third decade...

Osteoid osteoma in periarticular lesions tends to have an unusual presentation that likely leads to a delayed or missed diagnosis compared with a typical osteoid osteoma in the metaphysis or diaphysis of the long bone. In cases that are unresponsive to conservative treatment, surgical interventions including en bloc resection, computed tomography-guided percutaneous treatment, and arthroscopic ...

INTRODUCTION Osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum is a rare orthopedic condition. Only few cases are reported in the literature. Diagnosis of such pathology can sometimes be challenging. Arthroscopic excision of the lesion seems to be a useful minimally invasive treatment option. We report a case of osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum in an adult aged 25 years old treated arthroscopically. CASE RE...

osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.

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...

OBJECTIVE To report the results of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous resection of the nidus in 18 cases of osteoid osteoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 18 cases of osteoid osteoma in children, adolescents and young adults, who underwent CT-guided removal of the nidus between November, 2004 and March, 2009 were reviewed retrospectively for demographic data, lesion s...

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...

Introduction: Osteoma is a benign neoplasm resulting from the continuous formation of cortical or cancellous bone. Osteomas of the maxillofacial region mostly occur in the mandible. However, rarely osteomas seen in the mandibular condyle. Case Report: We present a case of a 33-year-old male patient reported with chief complaints of malocclusion, facial asymmetry, difficulty in chewing and devia...
