Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor composed of osteoid and atypical bone. The most commonly known sites of following tumor are long tubular bones, especially femur and tibia. Yet, development of osteoid osteoma in the foot is unusual, and there aren't much reported literatures of metatarsal osteoid osteoma. In this article, we report a case of the osteoid osteoma in the 3rd metatarsal bone of a 14-year-old male patient.

Osteoid osteoma, a frequent lesions of bone, is usually intraosseous but occasionally subperiosteal. We describe the case of a 19-year-old male with knee pain caused by subperiosteal osteoid osteoma. Radiologic evaluation was performed with radiographic, computed tomography (CT), ultrasonographic (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But the preoperative diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was delayed because of unusual imaging findings and atypical symptom. After excisional biopsy, histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. The lesion was treated successfully with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation.

An intra-articular osteoid osteoma is a very rare cause of elbow pain, and its diagnosis and treatment remain challenging. Delayed diagnosis may lead to arthritic change of the joint. In this study, the authors present the occurrence of intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the right elbow of a 15-year-old male patient who presented with prolonged pain and limited motion owing to delayed diagnosis. After confirming the nidus of osteoid osteoma from radiographic evaluation, the lesion was completely removed arthroscopically. The patient presented a complete relief of symptoms and full range of motion. This is the first domestic report of successful arthroscopic treatment of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the elbow.

Aspirin has usually been taken for pain relief originating in the nidus of osteoid osteoma, however it takes too long to become effective. Because of the protracted painful course and the unpredictability of regression, osteoid osteoma is usually removed. And then, the defective host bone is internally fixed by plate and screws and augumented by autogenous bone graft. However, the common intracortical location and exuberant periosteal reaction hinders the exact intraoperative localization of the nidus. The authors managed 6 patients by computerized tomography-guided percutaneous nidus excision with a relatively small skin incision, small cortical window, short operation time and no bone graft. It may be one of the best options for removal of the nidus of osteoid osteoma with certainty.

We experienced a case of osteoid osteoma in thoracic vertebra accompanied with herniated nucleus pulposus during the management of back pain. A 32 year old male patient with herniated nucleus pulposus complained of back pain and radiation to right leg. Lumbar epidural block with 1% mepivacaine 5 ml was performed for pain control and it relieved the radiating pain. However patient continued to experience severe exacerated back pain at night which responded to aspirin. Therefore we performed further examination for existence of disease of the spine and diagnosed osteoid osteoma in the right pedicle of T12 vertebra. In conclusion, we recommend physicians when evaluating patients with back pain to be congnizant of possible existence of neoplastic disease of the spine and incorporate it in differential diagnosis.

A 12-year-old female was referred from a dental clinic due to a radiolucent area under the lower right first and second premolars. The lesion was diagnosed as a simple bone cyst radiographically. However, she complained lasting pain during 10 month follow up. Therefore curettage was performed and it defined as an osteoid osteoma on the histopathologic examination. As the lesion recurred, one year later, enucleation was performed. We report this case to help the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in mandible.

Delay in diagnosis is possible in bone tumor located in the foot because it is rare. We experienced one case of osteoid osteoma located at the navicular bone of the foot which was slowly progressive and complicated with calcaneocuboidal joint, talonavicular joint arthritis. Osteoid osteoma of the navicular bone in the foot is rare. It bring about unwanted delay in diagnosis, complication. It is necessary to diagnose and treat in early situation to prevent complication and unnecessary operation.

We report the radio-frequency ablation technique applied on an osteoid osteoma under CT guide and review other new methods of treatment for the osteoid osteoma. An 18-year-old boy with an osteoid osteoma at the left proximal tibia, which was visible at plain film and MRI. He was treated by the percutaneous radio-frequency ablation technique under CT guide after a needle biopsy. He is free from any symptom and able to do daily activities. So, we proposed that the percutaneous radio-frequency ablation technique under CT guide is the effective and safe treatment method for an osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteomas are benign skeletal neoplasms that are commonly encountered in the bones of the lower extremities, but are exceedingly rare in jaw bones with a prevalence of less than 1%. This unique clinical entity is usually seen in younger individuals, with nocturnal pain and swelling as its characteristic clinical manifestations. The size of the lesion is rarely found to be more than 2 cm. We hereby report a rare case of osteoid osteoma originating from the neck of the mandibular condyle that grew to large enough proportions to result in conductive hearing loss in addition to pain, swelling and restricted mouth opening. In addition, an effort has been made to review all the documented cases of osteoid osteomas of the jaws that have been published in the literature thus far.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor composed of osteoid and atypical bone, with a loose, highly vascular fibrous marrow. The tumor has been reported in most of the bones of the body, but it is infrequently localized to the hand. The scaphoid is the carpal bone involved most frequently. Typically the lesions are painful and respond to aspirin. Roentgenologic finding of the central area of lucency surrounded by sclerotic bone often is diagnostic. Block excision with bone grafting is an acceptable method of treatment. We report a case of osteoid osteoma in scaphoid with a review of the literature.
