Osteoid osteoma of the hip: unusual isotopic appearance

Intra‐articular osteoid osteoma of the capitulum: A diagnostic challenge

“…11 Bone scan shows more diffuse uptake compared to localized uptake of classical osteoid osteoma. [14][15][16][17] This diffuse uptake is again in favor of a joint problem such as synovitis rather than a bony tumor.…”

Our experience with osteoid osteomas treated by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation

“…Osteoid Osteoma is a benign bone forming tumors [1][2][3][4][5][6] that causes severe pain and disability [6][7][8][9][10][11] . The clinical and technical success rate was 94% after primary ablation and after re ablation of the other 2 patients we finally achieved 100% clinical and technical success rate.…”

“…Osteoid osteoma are benign bone forming tumors [1][2][3][4][5][6] , with a nidus measuring less than 1.5cm in the greatest dimensions [1][2][3][4][5][6] . They are largely seen in the age group of 12 to 30 years [1][2][3][4][5][6] with male predominance of 3:1 [1,5,6] . Osteoid osteoma can arise from any bone with a predilection for the lower extremity [1,[5][6][7] .…”

Periosteal osteoid osteoma of the distal femur

“…Local deossification, slight periosteal new bone formation, and joint narrowing may suggest inflammatory arthritis or even osteomyelitis. 1,2,8,16 Although the plain film manifestations may be confusing, three-phase bone scans and CT scans show findings characteristic of OO in all locations and serve to confirm the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging may also show the nidus, often surrounded by extensive bone marrow and soft tissue edema, but OO remains a bone tumor best seen with CT scans owing to its small size and characteristic central mineralization.…”
