Osteoid osteoma: MR imaging versus CT.

Abstract: CT remains the best imaging modality for diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. MR images should not be interpreted without reference to plain radiographs and CT scans if serious errors in diagnosis are to be avoided.

“…It may also sometimes reveal a nidus that cannot be seen on plain X-rays, either because it is obscured by an intense sclerotic reaction or because the sclerotic bone is absent, such as with an intramedullary osteoid osteoma. MRI was compared with CT and was found to be inferior to it, and even misleading in correctly diagnosing and localizing osteoid osteoma [1,3,21].…”

“…At MRI, a heterogeneous lesion can be observed, with hyperintense signal on T2-weighted images, and calcification within the nidus (if present) and reactive sclerosis with hypointense signal on all sequences. Bone marrow and soft tissues edema may be present, tending to simulate more aggressive lesions such as osteomyelitis and malignant neoplasms (4,8) . The treatment for osteoid osteoma is surgical; nidus ablation must be complete to avoid the lesion recidivation (9-11) .…”

“…Due to atypical presentation, diagnosis is often delayed and a high degree of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis [5]. Plain radiographs, CT, MRI and bone scan are the investigations of choice and CT is the gold standard investigation for diagnosing this lesion [6]. Surgical excision of the tumour is the treatment of choice, particularly when there is a doubt in the histology of the lesion.…”
