초록

A 22-year-old man is presented with 3 months' history of dull pain on the lower thoracic area. Imaging studies suggested osteoid osteoma of 11th thoracic spine, which was verified pathologically after en bloc resection through transfacetal approach. The patient's preoperative pain was resolved immediately. We emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and complete surgical excision of tumor nidus.
