Osteoid Osteoma Treatment with Microwave Ablation: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract: Osteoid osteomas are one of the most common bone tumors. Although benign in nature, they can cause significant pain and distress to the afflicted patient. The main goal of treatment is to relieve pain. Historically, these tumors were treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or surgery. Percutaneous ablative techniques have since gained popularity because of their efficacy and low risk profiles. Radiofrequency ablation was the first of these technologies used in the treatment of these tumors. … Show more

“…High-frequency electrical current thermoablation (RFA) is considered the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic cases of this tumour owing to its availability and high efficacy. Treatment with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) appears to be a promising alternative as it is non-invasive and comparably efficient; however, it is limited by the strictness of indications and access to MRI [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…The main clinical advantages of MWA are higher temperatures and faster heating, shorter ablation times, larger ablation volumes and less heat sink effect compared to RFA (6,7). Several studies have been published describing the outcomes and side effects of MWA (8)(9)(10). However, only a few studies have investigated the effectiveness of the treatment according to the location of the nidus in the long bones (11,12).…”
