Abstract:
Osteoid osteoma is a small osteogenic tumor usually found in the lower extremity of children and young adults. Although these lesions are benign and rarely progress, they present distinctive pain symptoms that frequently require medical intervention. This article reviews surgical, medical, and percutaneous techniques for treatment of osteoid osteoma, emphasizing the value of percutaneous radiofrequency treatment.
