The authors report the case of an 8-year-old child presenting with painless swelling of the middle phalanx of the ring finger. Radiology demonstrated simple hypertrophy of cortical bone with a clear zone. Bone biopsy showed the typical features of osteoid osteoma. Osteoid osteoma is rarely painless and generally corresponds to a superficial tumour (hand, foot, skull and thorax).

Femur osteoid osteoma in children: are there location-dependent differences in MRI findings?
Pediatr Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.
Background: Osteoid osteomas are most commonly found in the femur and preferentially affect the pediatric population. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of femoral osteoid osteomas are not well described.
Objective: To systematically characterize pretreatment MRI findings of clinically confirmed femur osteoid osteomas in children and determine location-dependent differences.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common cause of pain, functional disability, and reduced quality of life in the elderly. Despite its prevalence, there are limited currently available noninvasive treatment options. MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a noninvasive thermal ablation method which is used in a spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.

Background: Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) is an advanced technology increasingly utilized in orthopedic surgery for its ability to provide real-time intraoperative guidance. Its application in spinal surgery is evolving rapidly, particularly for complex cases like tumor lesions. Spinal osteoblastomas, characterized by their benign nature, primarily affect the posterior elements of the spine.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor commonly affecting young individuals, with a rare occurrence in older adults. It typically presents with night pain relieved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and is characterized radiographically by a small, radiolucent nidus surrounded by reactive sclerosis. We present a 70-year-old female patient with persistent right hip pain, initially diagnosed as arthritis, who underwent total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction And Importance: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common benign bone tumor, mostly affecting young adults. Since it often develops in long bones, OO is rarely considered as a cause of chronic shoulder pain.
Case Presentation: We treated an 8-year-old boy with ongoing shoulder pain that was worse at night but improved with NSAIDs.
