[Tumors affecting the temporomandibular joint - a literature review].

Benign and malign tumors can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as any other articulation. Nevertheless, TMJ tumors are rare and mostly benign. Their clinical expression is varied including symptomatology similar to TMJ dysfunctional disorders, otologic or neurologic pathologies.

Gamma Probe-Guided Surgery in Postoperative Recurrent Osteoid Osteoma of Left Index Finger.

Osteoid osteomas are painful benign osteoblastic tumors that usually affect the metaphysis or diaphysis of long bones. Hands are rarely involved. Identification of recurrent lesion by anatomical imaging modalities is a challenge especially in postoperative setting.

Is radiofrequency ablation safe and effective in treating osteoid osteomas? A prospective single-center study with atypical cases.

Purpose: Osteoid osteomas are benign and nonprogressive lesions. The clinical presentation of osteoid osteoma is typical with night pain responsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. The typical radiological appearance is lucent nidus and adjacent reactive sclerosis.

Juvenile Osteoid Osteoma of the Distal Phalanx of the Second Digit.

Osteoid osteomas account for approximately 3% to 10% of primary bone tumors and are found most commonly in the cortical, diaphyseal regions of long tubular bones. These osteoblastic, benign tumors are usually seen in males, in the second to third decade, most often in the long bones of the lower extremity. The literature describes the limited encounters with osteoid osteomas of the pedal digital phalanx, especially in the pediatric population.

French Multidisciplinary Approach for the Treatment of MSK Tumors.

Several interventional treatments have recently been integrated into the therapeutic armamentarium available for the treatment of bone tumors. In some scenarios (e.g.

MR Imaging of Osteoid Osteoma: Pearls and Pitfalls.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone neoplasm consisting of a central prostaglandin-secreting nidus surrounded by a zone of reactive sclerosis. The diagnosis is suspected in children and young adults with longstanding nighttime pain that is relieved by salicylates or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Early studies suggested that computed tomography had a higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of OO compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Soft tissue recurrence of an osteoid osteoma: an exceptional observation.

We report the observation of the soft tissue recurrence of an osteoid osteoma (OO) in a 26-year-old man initially complaining of post-traumatic pain and swelling of the right ankle. A first arthroscopic resection was performed after the misdiagnosis of "bone irregularities" observed on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The diagnosis of OO was made by histological analysis of the resection material.

Effectiveness and reliability of traditional open surgery in atypical localizations of osteoid osteoma.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate traditional open surgery results of osteoid osteomas (OOs) in atypical localizations and explore whether open surgery can be a safe alternative in localizations where radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may not be suitable.

Patients And Methods: A total of 26 patients (20 males, 6 females; mean age 23.3±14.

Patellar Osteoid Osteoma as a Cause of Intractable Anterior Knee Pain - A Case Report and Systematic Review of Literature.

Introduction: Patellar involvement by osteoid osteoma is very rare. Osteoid osteomas that present as anterior knee pain are frequently misdiagnosed which leads to initial delay in treatment. Plain radiology has poor diagnostic yield.

Management of Osteoid Osteoma in Unusual Locations.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor that forms in bone, which accounts for 3% of all primary bone tumors. The classical clinical finding is substantial nocturnal pain and imaging findings. The management of osteoid osteomas include open surgical excision or minimally invasive percutaneous interventions.

Acetabula Osteoid Osteoma Mimicking Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that usually presents between 10 and 35 years of age. The metaphysis and diaphysis of the femur and tibia are the typical locations. The diagnosis is usually straightforward when images reveal a radiolucent nidus surrounded by reactive sclerosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of osteoid osteoma: utility of the dark rim sign.

Background: While typical patterns of osteoid osteoma have been described on CT, MRI findings can overlap among different diseases, and atypical patterns exist. In this study, we assessed the presence of a novel dark rim sign and its utility in the MRI diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the utility of the dark rim sign seen on MRI in children with osteoid osteoma.

Image-guided Cryotherapy for Musculoskeletal Tumors.

Background: This article represents a review of the use of image-guided cryotherapy in the treatment of musculoskeletal tumor lesions. Cryotherapy is able to induce a lethal effect on cancer cells through direct and indirect mechanisms. In this manuscript, we combined our experience with that of other authors who have published on this topic in order to provide indications on when to use cryotherapy in musculoskeletal oncology.

Intractable Scapular Pain Due to Undiagnosed Osteoid Osteoma: A Case Report.

A 36-year-old female patient presented to our stroke neurology clinic for progressively worsening intractable, sharp, shooting interscapular pain radiating to the right shoulder and neck, which she had experienced for 4 years. She had previously seen an orthopedist and was referred to a neurosurgeon for surgical intervention after an MRI of the cervical spine showed the C3-C4 right vertebral artery loop protruding into the right C3-C4 neural foramen and compressing the exiting C4 nerve root. MR neurography showed a stable tortuous right vertebral artery loop, causing a mass effect on the dorsal root ganglion.

Secondary radiological findings of osteoid osteoma as muscular atrophy and synovitis in paediatric and adult patients.

Purpose: Diagnosis of osteoid osteoma may be delayed if secondary radiological findings such as muscle atrophy, oedema in peripheric soft tissue and bone marrow, joint effusion, or synovitis are more severe than the lesion itself. In this article, the purpose was to demonstrate secondary radiological findings of osteoid osteoma in both paediatric and adult patients. This study is one of the very few with such a large case series.

Bone Tumors Occurring in the Soft Tissues: A Review of the Clinical, Imaging, and Histopathologic Findings.

Although rare in everyday practice, malignancies that classically arise from bone or cartilage have been reported to arise de novo in various soft tissues in the body, resulting in a diagnostic challenge for the clinician, radiologist, and pathologist. Differential diagnoses of bone tumors often depend on anatomic location of the lesion. For example, the classic location of osteosarcoma is in the metaphysis of long bones about the knee.

Intraarticular Osteoid Osteoma: MRI Characteristics and Clinical Presentation Before and After Radiofrequency Ablation Compared to Extraarticular Osteoid Osteoma.

Purpose:  To determine MRI characteristics and the clinical presentation of intraarticular osteoid osteomas (OO) before and after treatment with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) compared with extraarticular osteoid osteomas.

Materials And Methods:  In a retrospective study, n = 21 patients with an intraarticular OO were matched with a control group of n = 21 patients with an extraarticular OO at a comparable anatomical position. All patients underwent CT-guided RFA and preinterventional MRI.

Bone up on spinal osseous lesions: a case review series.

Spinal osseous neoplasms are frequently encountered and can be challenging when present as solitary lesions. Familiarity with the range of benign and malignant spinal pathology can help the radiologist formulate a comprehensive differential diagnosis. This article focuses on the spectrum of extradural spinal tumors, accounting for the majority of primary spinal tumors, by comparing the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and characteristic imaging appearance of these lesions.

Spinal Tumor Ablation: Indications, Techniques, and Clinical Management.

Percutaneous thermal ablation has proven to be safe and effective in the management of patients with spinal tumors. Such treatment is currently proposed following the decision of a multidisciplinary tumor board to patients with small painful benign tumors such as osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma, as well as carefully selected patients presenting with spinal metastases. In both scenarios, in order to provide a clinically effective procedure, ablation is often tailored to the specific patients' clinical needs and features of the target tumor.

Osteoid osteoma in older adults: clinical success rate of percutaneous image-guided thermal ablation.

Aim: To assess the clinical success rate of percutaneous radiofrequency and laser ablation of osteoid osteomas in older adults.

Materials And Methods: Percutaneous radiofrequency or laser ablation was performed in 43 patients (35 years and older) with osteoid osteoma to achieve definitive cure in this retrospective study. The clinical success rate was defined as complete pain relief determined by numeric rating scale (NRS) scores (pre-procedural and post-procedural at 1-week, 6-week, and 2-year intervals).

[Osteoid osteoma and labrum injury in a hip of a 29-year-old woman].

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour most commonly seen in long bones, and CT-scan is the modality of choice showing nidus with surrounding sclerosis. Osteoid osteoma with an intra-articular location in the hip may lack sclerosis, and it may also lack nocturnal pain and pain relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which is most commonly seen in osteoid osteoma. This is a case report of a combination of osteoid osteoma and labrum injury in a hip of a 29-year-old woman.

Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation of multifocal osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor characterized mostly by presence of one nidus, butvery infrequentlyniduses can be multiple. Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established treatment method for this disease. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient with bifocal osteoid osteoma which was partially missed on the initial magnetic resonance imaging and treated successfully with two sessions of radiofrequency ablation.

Bone Tumors: Benign Bone Tumors.

Primary benign bone tumors are uncommon and most often affect children and young adults. They typically are detected incidentally on imaging, though some patients present with pain, swelling, or other symptoms. The four main categories of benign bone tumor are: bone-forming (eg, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, fibrous dysplasia, enostosis), cartilage-forming (eg, osteochondroma, enchondroma), connective tissue, and vascular; the latter two are rare.

Radiofrequency ablation vs microwave ablation for osteoid osteomas: long-term results.

Objective: Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors commonly treated using thermal ablation. We compare the technical success, complication rates, and long-term efficacy of the two most common ablation types: radiofrequency and microwave.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed of all osteoid osteoma ablation procedures between 2007 and 2017.

Osteoid osteoma of the hip: imaging features.

Osteoid osteoma (OO), a small bone tumor relatively common in young subjects, frequently involves the hip. In addition to typical findings, we emphasize unsuspected clinical and imaging features including painless OO causing limping gait, non-visibility of totally mineralized nidus, absence of hyperostosis or adjacent edema, and recurrence at distance from the initial location. We also discuss the option of medical treatment for some cases of deep hip locations.
