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.

Osteoid Osteoma: An Updated Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical Presentation, Radiological Features, and Treatment Option.

Osteoid osteoma, the third most common benign bone tumor, usually occurs in the cortex of long bones. It consists of a radiolucent nidus surrounded by reactive osteosclerosis. Generally, osteoid osteoma affects young males.

Non-Compressive, Disabling, Cervical Radiculopathy and Neck Pain: Cave Osteoid Osteoma.

Cervical radiculopathy is a common clinical condition with an annual incidence of 85/10,000. Refractory cases with positive disco-vertebral imaging findings are routinely referred to the Neurosurgeon for evaluation and treatment. In the absence of a clearcut compressive etiology, other rarer but surgically curable causes must be considered before recommending conservative management.

Resection of Benign Osseous Spine Tumors in Pediatric Patients by Minimally Invasive Techniques.

Objective: Benign osseous tumors of the spine in children are a rare cause for surgery. The aim of this study is to describe our experience with resection of pediatric benign osseous spine tumors using a minimally invasive technique through a variety of surgical approaches.

Methods: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data of pediatric patients who underwent minimally invasive resection of a benign osseous vertebral tumor from May 2013 through November 2018 was performed.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Hallux: A Diagnostic Challenge.

: Unexplained bone marrow edema on MRI warrants further investigation with CT to demonstrate a nidus which is pathognomonic for an osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Scapular Neck: A Cause of Long-lasting Unexplained Pain.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common tumor of the diaphysis of long bone, where the reported incidence is up 10% of all benign bone tumors. Its presence in flat bone is seldom mentioned in literature and can be misleading when the bone involved is in proximity to a zone of wide variety of possible pathology. We report a case of a young patient with OO in a very rare location of the body -the scapular neck - that was misdiagnosed for a long period of time before receiving adequate therapy.

Detection of Bone Marrow Edema in Patients with Osteoid Osteoma Using Three-Material Decomposition with Dual-Layer Spectral CT.

The aim of this study is to assess whether perifocal bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with osteoid osteoma (OO) can be accurately detected on dual-layer spectral CT (DLCT) with three-material decomposition. To that end, 18 patients with OO (25.33 ± 12.

Osteoid Osteoma Treatment with Microwave Ablation: A Report of Two Cases.

Osteoid osteomas are one of the most common bone tumors. Although benign in nature, they can cause significant pain and distress to the afflicted patient. The main goal of treatment is to relieve pain.

Hip arthroscopy has good clinical outcomes in the treatment of osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum.

Background: Osteoid osteoma (OO) of the acetabulum is a relatively rare disease. However, the the clinical outcomes of hip arthroscopy for treatment of OO of the acetabulum are still uncertain.

Methods: We evaluated consecutive patients who were diagnosed with OO of the acetabulum and who underwent hip arthroscopy at our hospital between January 2013 and March 2020.

Musculoskeletal Interventional Radiology in the Pediatric Population: State of the Art.

Interventional radiology procedures have been proven to be as effective as traditional surgery but usually are characterized by lower morbidity rates. In this article, the most diffuse IR treatments for pediatric lesions are reviewed with the aim of describing main advantages and drawbacks. Ablation procedures (in particular RFA and MRgFUS) are widely used for the management of osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma whereas intracystic injection of methylprednisolone acetate is performed for simple bone cysts.

Epiphyseal intramedullary osteoid osteoma in the distal radius: A case report and literature review.

Osteoid osteoma is one of the osteoblastic benign bone tumors, which occurs frequently at the cortex of long bones, usually in the diaphysis or metadiaphysis. Although the tumor location in the bone varies, epiphyseal intramedullary osteoid osteoma has been rarely reported. Herein, we report a 14-year-old male patient with epiphyseal intramedullary osteoid osteoma, occurring at the distal radius, with magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Intracortical chondroma of the metacarpal bone: A case report.

Background: Intracortical chondroma of the metacarpal bone which could be painful is an extremely rare condition and previously only one case has been reported. Due to the similar physical features and appearance on clinical imaging, it is difficult to differentiate between intracortical chondroma and osteoid osteoma. Therefore, pathological examination is usually required to establish a definite diagnosis, which is often carried out only after tumor removal.

Epiphyseal enchondroma masking as osteoid osteoma: a case report.

Background: Enchondromas originating in the epiphyses of long bones are rare and epiphyseal osteoid osteomas are also uncommon. Diagnosis can become elusive when enchondromas or osteoid osteomas occur in atypical locations and present with nonspecific clinical and imaging characteristics.

Case Presentation: We report a case of epiphyseal enchondroma of the left proximal femur in a 15-year-old girl with a 2-month history of left lower extremity pain.

Spinal Osteoid Osteoma Revealed by Radiculopathy: Case Report and Literature Review.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign tumor that usually occurs in long bones of young males. We report a rare case of spinal OO in a 25-year-old woman, revealed by a sciatica. Spinal radiographs and computed tomography scan were normal, although performed at 6 months of symptom evolution.

Arthroscopic Excision of Intra-Articular Osteoid Osteoma of the Hip: A Case Series.

Purpose: To identify the clinical features of intra-articular osteoid osteoma (OO) of the hip, to evaluate the clinical effect of arthroscopic excision for intra-articular OO, and to summarize the characteristics of revision cases of hip OO and the revision surgery under arthroscopy in these cases.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 25 patients who underwent arthroscopic excision of hip OO. The case series included 10 patients who underwent revision surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the ability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to differentiate between benign and malignant bony tumours.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted from October, 2018 to December, 2019. The study included 62 patients (37 male and 25 female) with clinically suspected bony lesions referred to the Radiology Department.

Costal Osteoma: Report of a Case in an Unusual Site.

BACKGROUND Osteoma is a benign bone tumor that typically arises in facial bones and less frequently in the long bones. It rarely occurs in the appendiceal skeleton. Pathologic findings are similar to those for parosteal osteosarcoma, periostitis ossificans, and osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma: which is the best mininvasive treatment option?

Osteoid osteoma is the third most common benign bone tumor, with well-known clinical presentation and radiological features. Although surgical excision has been the only therapeutic option for a long time, to date it has been replaced by minimally invasive techniques, which proved satisfactory success rates and low complication occurrence. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review was to describe the main updates of these recent procedures in the field of interventional radiology, with particular attention paid to the results of the leading studies relating to the efficacy, complications, and recurrence rate.

[Difficulties in diagnosing an osteoid osteoma of the big toe : A case report with review of the literature].

Background: Osteoid osteomas belong to the benign osseous neoplasia and can occur on the entire skeleton. The prolonged diagnosis of an osteoid osteoma of the great toe prompted us to prepare a case report with a literature review to identify possible sources of error and to contribute to a more expeditious diagnosis and therapy.

Literature: Currently, only two case reports on osteoid osteomas of the toes are known in the German literature.

Osteoid Tumors of Bone.

We present a review of several bone (osteoid)-forming tumors including enostosis, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, and osteosarcoma. These entities were chosen because they are reasonably common-neither seen every day nor rare. When applicable, recent information about the lesions is included.
