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 is a benign osteoblastic tumor that is unusual in the hand. A location in the carpal bones is infrequent, which leads to errors in diagnosing it because of polymorphism of the clinical symptoms. Reviewing the literature shows that nine cases of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid have been reported. Here, one case of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid that was initially treated as De Q...

We present a case of osteoid osteoma with a history of mild pain, local swelling and point tenderness on the right lower leg. The diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was difficult due to the atypical clinical history and misleading radiological and bone scan findings. When it is difficult to differentiate an osteoid osteoma from osteomyelitis using CT, MRI or bone scan; HIG scintigraphy can be used to...

A long-term follow-up of three patients suffering from osteoid osteoma who have not undergone surgery is reported. Only eight similar cases have been reported in the literature. It is shown that over a period of years the pain of osteoid osteoma eventually disappears but the radiological appearance may remain unaltered or gradually resolve. Surgical management of osteoid osteoma is advised beca...

Surgical excision is the traditional treatment for osteoid osteoma. However, the complexity of the foot anatomy makes a satisfactory outcome challenging. Difficulty in localizing the lesion intraoperatively may result in either incomplete tumor resection or excessive bone loss. To date, no published report has described the use of three-dimensional printing in the surgical treatment of osteoid ...

STUDY DESIGN Case report and systematic review of the literature. OBJECTIVE To describe a rare case of remodeling of the cervical facet joint after the microendoscopic resection of an osteoid osteoma. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Osteoid osteoma, the third most common benign bone tumor, is often treated by image-guided percutaneous removal of the nidus. However, percutaneous resection poses t...

Osteoid osteoma is a rare entity in the tarsal bones especially in children. High degree of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis and delay in diagnosis can cause significant disability. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is safe, minimally invasive method especially to treat juxta-articular and inaccessible lesions. Atypical Osteoid osteoma can present with clinical features similar to that monoa...

• Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that usually presents in children and young adults characterized by local pain which is worse at night; occasionally the pain is referred to a site distant from the actual lesion. • Osteoid osteoma of the scapula should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neuralgic amyotrophy due to shared clinical features of pain, weakness, and atrophy aroun...

INTRODUCTION Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor that usually occurs in the long bones of young adults. Its symptoms can be diverse depending on the location of the tumor and especially difficult to diagnose when occurring in an atypical location. Osteoid osteoma arising in the sacrum is extremely rare, and here, we present a case that was treated successfully in a minimally invasive fashion unde...

Background Osteoid osteoma is a bone-producing lesion frequently localized in long bones. The most common presenting symptom is pain with nocturnal exacerbation, responsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [1]. Minimally invasive treatment options have become the standard of care for osteoid osteoma and at present radiofrequency ablation is the treatment of choice [2]. Only one prelimina...
