Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance is helpful in reducing dose exposure to pediatric patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma.

Purpose: To assess efficacy and safety of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of osteoid osteoma (OO) in children and adolescents, and to compare technical success, clinical success, radiation dose and procedure duration time of CBCT guidance to conventional computed tomography (CT) guidance.

Materials And Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, 53 consecutive percutaneous RFA were performed on pediatric patients with CBCT or conventional CT guidance, respectively, in 24 and 29 children and adolescents with 24-month follow-up. Dose area product (DAP) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded, respectively, for CBCT and conventional CT and converted to effective doses (ED).

Musculoskeletal Applications of Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound.

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a novel noninvasive therapy that uses focused sound energy to thermally ablate focal pathology within the body. In the United States, MRgFUS is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of uterine fibroids, palliation of painful bone metastases, and thalamotomy for the treatment of essential tremor. However, it has also demonstrated utility for the treatment of a wide range of additional musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that currently are treated as off-label indications.

Arthroscopic Excision of Hamate Osteoid Osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma is considered the most common benign bone forming tumor accounting for 12% of all benign bone tumors. The carpus is a rare site for this tumor but quite a few cases were reported before. The lesion can be subperiosteal, cortical or medullary.

Osteoid osteoma of the second metatarsal bone diagnosed on MRI: A case report and literature review.

Osteoid osteoma is a relatively common benign bone tumor that is most frequently seen on the appendicular skeleton in adolescents and young adults. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with a 10 month history of pain in his left foot which had been misdiagnosed as stress fracture due to its unusual clinical presentation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left foot revealed a bone lesion with typical features of the osteoid osteoma on the distal part of the second metatarsal bone.

A Rare Presentation of Osteoid Osteoma in a 77-Year-Old Patient, Treated with Computer Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone forming tumor characterized by small size and a disproportionate amount of pain. They are most commonly seen between the ages of 5 and 30 years; however, they can be seen in the older patient albeit infrequently. The hands and feet are the least common site of OO among the extremity bones.

Hip arthroscopy for the treatment of osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum: a case report study.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) of the acetabulum is a quite rare pathology, with an overall incidence of 0,5%. Frequently the diagnosis of OO may not be simple to obtain, because the clinical presentation can mimic other common hip pathologies. We present a case report of OO of the anterior/superior edge of the acetabular fossa associated with a degenerative lesion of the acetabular labrum and with a concomitant femoral neck cam.

Osteoid osteoma of the foot : Presentation, treatment and outcome of a multicentre cohort.

Background: Osteoid osteomas of the foot are rare, with a varying and atypical clinical as well as radiological presentation impeding early diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the present multicentre study was to 1) analyze epidemiological, clinical and radiological findings of patients with foot osteoid osteomas and to 2) deduce a diagnostic algorithm based on the findings.

Methods: A total of 37 patients (25 males, 67.

Minimally Invasive Resection of an S3 Osteoid Osteoma Using an Intraoperative O-Arm: A Technical Note.

Osteoid osteomas are benign primary bone tumors that typically arise in posterior vertebrae of the spine. For patients with severe pain or those poorly controlled with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, surgical management is the mainstay of treatment. The recommended surgical treatment option is complete open excision, although minimally invasive CT-guided percutaneous excision and CT-guided radiofrequency ablation have been reported.

Ribbing disease of tibia: a rare entity.

Establishing the cause of unilateral leg pain is difficult in the settings of tibial diaphyseal sclerosis. This patient, a 36-year-old woman presented with unilateral pretibial leg pain for past 7 months without history of trauma, infections, systemic or metabolic disease. Besides local deep tenderness, other clinical findings and blood investigations were normal.

Osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck mistaken as a synovial herniation pit.

A 36-year-old man presented with 1 year of atraumatic left lateral thigh, groin, and hip pain, and imaging consistent with the diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement and a labral tear. Imaging concurrently demonstrated a synovial herniation pit. The patient underwent hip arthroscopy, which included femoroplasty, acetabuloplasty, labral debridement, and synovectomy.

Tumors and pseudotumors of foot and ankle: Bone lesions.

Bone tumors and tumor-like lesions (pseudotumors) are not uncommonly encountered as asymptomatic findings on imaging, or as symptomatic lesions clinically. Radiographic imaging is the first diagnostic tool for their management strategy, since the symptoms are commonly non-specific, such as pain, swelling, and redness. Image findings must be analyzed with attention to the specific features such as lesion location, margination, zone of transition, mineralization, size and multifocality, soft tissue component and/or loco-regional extent.

Femur Neck Osteoid Osteoma Managed with Radiofrequency Ablation - A Case Report.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of bones involving mainly the tubular bones and rarely axial skeletons. The patient mainly complains of night pain in the affected region or the joint nearby. Pain always subsides with analgesics and gradually increased over the period of time.

Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma in children: a single center's experience.

Objective: To report a single center's experience evaluating the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in children.

Radiofrequency Ablation of Osteoid Osteoma of Neck of Femur: A Case Report.

Osteoid osteoma is the most common benign bone forming tumor characterized by a nidus surrounded by reactive sclerotic bone typically associated with nocturnal pain and most common in males less than 30 years. Diagnosis may be difficult in cases of atypical presentation, intraarticular localizations or very small size. Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the promising treatment methods being used with an advantage of minimal invasion, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization.

Intra-articular hip joint osteoid osteoma: Challenging diagnosis and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation treatment.

Atypical intra-articular osteoid osteoma can be difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat. We report a case of a right acetabular subchondral intra-articular osteoid osteoma in a young male patient which was initially diagnosed as femoroacetabular impingement due to its atypical clinical and radiological presentations. After fully working up the patient the lesion was successfully treated with percutaneous CT-guided low-power bipolar radiofrequency ablation using several per procedural articular cartilage thermal protective measures including intra-articular thermocouple, and continuous per procedural joint space cooling with Dextrose 5% solution.

Epithelioid osteoblastoma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst and FOS gene rearrangement.

Epithelioid osteoblastoma, sometimes equated with aggressive osteoblastoma, is a variant of osteoblastoma that typically demonstrates more worrisome imaging and pathological features compared to conventional osteoblastoma. These more aggressive features can overlap with those seen in osteosarcoma, creating a diagnostic challenge for radiologists and pathologists. Recent identification of FOS and FOSB gene rearrangements in osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma has allowed for greater diagnostic confidence following biopsy, but careful radiological-pathological correlation remains a key component for guiding appropriate management.

Atypical presentation of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the proximal humerus excised with arthroscopy: a case report.

An adult man presented with a 5-month history of anterior right shoulder pain. He denied previous trauma or night pain. On the otherwise normal physical examination, pain was elicited in maximum abduction and external rotation.

Osteoblastoma of the Lumbar Spine: Findings in SPECT/CT.

Osteoblastoma is an uncommon benign osteoid tissue-forming bone tumor. We present the case of a 16-year-old adolescent boy with lower back pain that radiated down the right thigh. Lumbar MRI and CT findings were consistent with a long-standing osteoid osteoma located in the right laminae and pedicle of L3.

Imaging Review of Pediatric Benign Osteocytic Tumors and Latest Updates on Management.

Pediatric benign osteocytic tumors include osteoma, enostosis, osteoid osteoma, and osteoblastoma. In pediatric populations, benign bone tumors are more common than malignancies. Benign osteocytic tumors may have a unique clinical presentation that helps narrow the differential diagnosis.

Cervical Osteoma in Hereditary Multiple Exostoses.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bony pathology. It presents either as a solitary lesion or as multiple lesions with a genetic predisposition. Reported more often in teenagers with thrice more common incidence among boys than in girls, it has a predilection for long bones of lower limbs.
