[Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma: results from 9 years of experience in a third-level center.].

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that accounts for roughly 2-3% of primary bone tumors and up to 10-12% of benigns bone neoplasms. It is most commonly seen in young adults, and shows male predominance. Over the last years, minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques such as radiofrequency ablation have gained popularity over classical surgery.
