“…Although this tumor may regress spontaneously after a long time, but surgery is usually indicated in symptomatic patients not responsive to medical treatment. A variety of treatment options including medication, wide excision of the nidus and curettage of the lesion, CT-guided core drill excision, radionuclide-guided excision, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, injection of ethanol, or interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) have been used for this tumor [3,[7][8][9][10][11]. Percutaneous CT-guided ablations with laser or radiofrequency have now widely replaced surgery as the treatment of choice for osteoid osteoma.…”

“…The lesion is most commonly located in the cortex of the long bones with dense reactive sclerosis. Presence of area of sclerosis around the lucent area, due to reactive bone formation is typical of osteoid osteoma[ 2 ]. The nidus on maturity may be radio dense due to mineralization.…”

“…Conventional radiographs are effective in diagnosis, the radiological picture is of a central radiolucent area (nidus) surrounded by an area of cortical thickening. The imaging modality of choice is CT scan which is considered far superior to an MRI in diagnosis[ 1 , 2 ]. Tumors present in its classic form only in two thirds of the patients[ 3 ].…”

“…During the final review at six months he was noted to have satisfactory ankle function with no complications.DiscussionOsteoid osteomas may be intra-cortical, subperiosteal, endosyeal or intra-medullary in location. Presence of area of sclerosis around the lucent area, due to reactive bone formation is typical of osteoid osteoma[3]. The nidus is better demonstrated in a CT scan than in an MRI[1,3].A mature nidusmay be radio dense due to mineralization.…”

“…Presence of area of sclerosis around the lucent area, due to reactive bone formation is typical of osteoid osteoma[3]. The nidus is better demonstrated in a CT scan than in an MRI[1,3].A mature nidusmay be radio dense due to mineralization. CT scan demonstrates a nidus which is a well-defined area of low attenuation which is surrounded by an area of high attenuation of reactive sclerosis[1].A series by Davidson and colleagues reported a delay in six months in making a diagnosis of osteoid osteoma because of the atypical radiographic appearance [2].…”
