Abstract

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor occurring primarily in patients under the age of 30 yr. Bone pain at night and relief by aspirin or other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents is a common symptom complex. The proximal femur and spine are frequent sites of involvement, but almost any bone can be involved. If plain roentgenograms do not demonstrate the lesion, tomography or a bone scan may be helpful. Complete surgical excision is the therapy of choice with a low recurrence rate. Osteoid osteoma may present initially with symptoms suggestive of inflammatory arthritis, degenerative joint disease, neoplasm, or infection. This lesion can therefore be a difficult diagnostic problem, especially if routine roentgenograms are normal. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis.

      Osteoid osteoma was first described as a separate entity by Jaffe in 1935 [1]. This bone lesion is more often than not located in the diaphysis and metaphysis of the femur, tibia and spine, accounting for approximately 10% of benign bone tumours [2]. Almost 20% of osteoid osteomata are located in the proximal femur and 1–3% in the pelvis [3,4].

      However, it should not be forgotten that OO might appear at any age [2,3,5–8]. In our series, OO also occurred more frequently in the male population, which is consistent with the literature [2,3,5–7,13,14]. Nevertheless, we think that the patient's gender is not useful information that would help to diagnose an OO.
