Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that when located on the base of the coracoids process of the scapula is very rare and diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because of its rarity. Almost any bone can be involved, but half of cases involve the femur or tibia. The radiologic features of osteoid osteoma are well known, but these tumors may present with unusual features and be easily misd...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign primary bone tumor containing a small region of abnormal osteoid with osteoblasts and variable surrounding reactive bone. Osteoid osteoma accounts for approximately 11% of all benign tumors.1 The majority of osteoid osteomas are monofocal with a single nidus. The orthopedic and radiology literature is scattered with several case reports of multicentric osteoid osteom...

osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely involves joints. although there are several reports of arthroscopic osteoid osteoma excisions, to our knowledge, there are no reports of this type of treatment for osteoid osteoma in carpal bones. we report two cases of arthroscopic (a person who had a pain in the left wrist and the other one with carpal tunnel syndrome) with excision of osteoi...

Comment: An increase in the osteoid (previously called osteomalacia) is characterized by an increase in the surface area of bone by the accumulation of osteoid (Figure 1 and Figure 2). There may be widened seams along existing surfaces of bone. Defective mineralization results in an accumulation of homogeneous, unmineralized osteoid. Increased osteoid has been induced in rats by various compoun...

Osteoid osteoma is an uncommon benign tumor and causes severe pain, being worse at night, that responds dramatically to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. An osteoid osteoma of the toe is very rare and arising in a pedal phalanx may be difficult to diagnose. A 34-year-old male has local swelling and tenderness but there were no hyperemia, temperature increase, or clubbing. There was a ...

The results of a histological study of normal osteoid tissue in man, the monkey, the dog, and the rat, using thin microtome sections of plastic-embedded undecalcified bone, are described. Osteoid tissue covers the entire bone surface, except for areas of active resorption, although the thickness of the layer of osteoid tissue varies at different sites and in different species of animals. The hi...

Osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma are commonly seen benign osteogenic bone neoplasms. Both tumors are typically seen in the second decade of life, with a notable predilection in males. Histologically, these tumors resemble each other, with characteristically increased osteoid tissue formation surrounded by vascular fibrous stroma and perilesional sclerosis. However, osteoblastomas are larger th...
