Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic bone tumor that is usually encountered in adolescent and young adult males (1). The typical findings of osteoid osteoma in a long tubular bone are the presence of a small, well-defined radiolucent lesion with or without mineralization within the cortex, associated with cortical thickening and reactive sclerosis (2). Osteoid osteomas can be categorized ac...

Osteoid osteoma is a relatively common osteoblastic lesion of benign skeletal neoplasms and occurs most commonly in the cortex of long bones, especially the femur and the tibia. Radiological characteristics are a nidus that appears as a small, relatively radiolucent zone within an area of extensive reactive sclerosis. Clinically, the lesion presents with increasing pain, is worse at night, and ...

Çoğunlukla başka bir nedenle yapılan radyolojik incelemelerde rastlantısal olarak saptananan benign osteojenik tümörlerden olan osteoid osteoma aktiviteden bağımsız, geceleri daha şiddetli ağrıya neden olur. Standart radyografiler lezyonu gösterebilir ancak nidusun gösterilmesi ve lezyonun yerinin kesin tespiti için bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) gerekmektedir. Nidus adı verilen radyolusen alana s...

 Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor and accounts for 10% of benign tumors. Almost any bones can be involved but half of cases involving femur or tibia. Osteoid osteoma is a rare tumor of the scapula with only 18 reported cases in the literature. We presented a case of osteoid osteoma of the scapula in right shoulder in angle of coracoid and geloneid in a 34- year old woman. She had right ra...

Introduction: Osteomas are asymptomatic and rare slow growing bony tumors in temporal bone, and should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of the osteolytic solitary skull lesions. Sometimes is associated with pain and functional loss. Only a few cases have been reported.   Case Report: We describe a case of an osteoid osteoma of the temporal bone (mastoid) in a 31-year-old woman pr...

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...

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...

Choroidal osteomas are rare benign ossifying tumors that appear as irregular slightly elevated, yellow-white, juxtapapillary, choroidal mass with well-defined geographic borders, depigmentation of the overlying pigment epithelium; and with multiple small vascular networks on the tumor surface. Visual loss results from three mechanisms: Atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium overlying a decal...
