background : the hand and wrist bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteoma, and its diagnosis can be difficult. this paper reports 25 cases of osteoid osteoma in the hand and wrist.   methods : records of the 25 patients who had pathological conditions of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist were reviewed and analyzed.   results : twenty-five cases of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist ...

Osteoid osteoma is a rare clinical entity often mistaken for osteomyelitis, enchondroma, osteochondroma and other bony pathologies. Cardinal features include localized swelling and nocturnal pain often relieved by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Definitive treatment requires surgical removal of the lesion by curettage or en bloc excision. The following case report details the diagnosis and...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Osteoid osteomas account for approximately 2- 3% of all primary bone neoplasm's sampled for biopsy. 50% of all of them occur in the long bones of the lower extremities, but osteoid osteoma of the coracoid process is rare. We have found only nine previously reported cases of coracoid osteoid osteoma in the international literature. We report a child with coracoid base osteoid osteoma....

Although there are many reports of osteoid os teoma in the literature, we were able to find only one case in which a bone scan was performed (1). The scan showed no definite lesion. McAfee has ad vised us that he has performed imaging studies on two proven instances of osteoid osteoma, both dem onstrating markedly increased uptake, but he is Un able to cite a specific reference in the literatur...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy is recognised as a safe and effective treatment option for osteoid osteoma. This case report describes a 27-year-old man who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous RFA for a femoral osteoid osteoma, which was diagnosed based on his clinical presentation and CT findings. The patient developed worsening symptoms complicated by osteomyelitis af...

An 18-year-old girl presented with an osteoid osteoma in the ulnar side of the cortex of the distal radius extending into the distal radioulnar joint. The osteoid osteoma was removed from the distal radius at surgery. The patient’s symptoms were dramatically improved the day after surgery. A high concentration of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was seen in the joint and surrounding soft tissues, and cy...

We report herein the case of an 18-year-old man who underwent endoscopic resection for an osteoid osteoma in the seventh cervical facet joint. The patient had experienced right neck pain for approximately one year, but no neurological abnormalities were noted. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging suggested an osteoid osteoma in the superior articular process of the seventh cervical vertebra. The...
