Osteoid Osteoma of the Scapular Neck: A Case Report

Osteoid Osteoma is a little uncommon bony lesion. It rarely affects the scapula. Only a few cases are found in the literature. Even rarer is its occurrence at base of coracoids process. Osteoid osteoma of the base of coracoid process is a rare location. They may present simply as diffuse shoulder pain. Careful evaluation of the patient is important to diagnose this rare lesion. Clinical history is valuable, as well as the radiological investigations. Surgical treatment is definitive and rewarding. We are presenting a case of osteoid osteoma involving the base of coracoid process in a 12 year boy which was diagnosed clinico-radiologically and treated surgically by de-roofing and curettage of the lesion. The boy got complete relief of pre-operative symptoms.

Purpose: Osteoid osteomas are benign and nonprogressive lesions. The clinical presentation of osteoid osteoma is typical with night pain responsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. The typical radiological appearance is lucent nidus and adjacent reactive sclerosis. The most traditional management of osteoid osteoma is surgical removal which is associated with significant morbidity. This article aims to demonstrate our single-center experience of 55 patients with osteoid osteoma treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods: Fifty-five symptomatic patients who were seen at our orthopedics outpatient clinics, diagnosed with osteoid osteoma, and referred to interventional radiology department between May 2015 and April 2019 were enrolled. The nidus size, pain numeric rating scale score, and intramedullary edema diameter before and after RFA were compared. Clinical and technical success, intervention-related complications, and need for subsequent ablation were recorded. Results: Of the 55 patients, including 12 pediatric cases, 6 had atypical locations such as metatarsal, vertebra, and scapula, while 1 case had osteoid osteoma with multiple nidus. The mean age was 18.5 ± 9.6 years. Preintervention maximum nidus diameter, pain score, and edema diameter were significantly lower in postintervention measurements ( p < 0.001). Technical success rate was 98.1%, and clinical success was 96.36%. Severe complication occurred in one patient with soft tissue burn and osteomyelitis. Conclusion: This is one of the largest series of osteoid osteoma treated with RFA done in a single center with atypical cases. In conclusion, RFA is safe and effective in both pediatric and adult patients with rare complications even in challenging cases with atypical locations.
