“…Due its accuracy in detecting the nidus, CT is the preferred imaging technique used for the assessment of osteoid osteomas [3,7,15,18]. When the osteoid osteoma occurs in the posterior portion of the rib near the spine, it may lead to scoliosis [19] Both conservative and operative techniques have been reported for the treatment of OO. Conservative treatment consists of NSAID administration for a prolonged period of time, which reportedly leads to alleviation of pain in select cases.…”

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteogenic tumour first reported by Jaffe in 1935. OOs may affect any bone, but more than half of the tumors occur in the long bones of the lower extremities. The frequency of OOs affecting the ribs is extremely low (1-1.4%), with only 14 reported cases with surgical intervention to date. Complete surgical excision is the standard treatment method for osteoid osteoma and is usually offered to patients experiencing chronic and substantial pain that is not relieved by conservative treatment. In this report we present a case of osteoid osteoma of the posterior part of the shaft of the sixth rib affecting a 30-year-old male, who had presented with symptoms of severe pain over the affected area and underwent surgical resection. Excised rib segment showed no osteosclerotic lesion on X ray so immediately extended resection of sixth rib was done. Here we have tried to evaluate the importance of the presence of the skeletal scintigraphy or C Arm image intensifier intra operatively by comparing our experience with the available literature.
