Recurrent osteoid osteoma in a pediatric patient presented with nocturnal thigh pain. Despite initial successful excision, the benign bone tumor recurred, confirmed by imaging, necessitating further management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Skeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor often presenting with nocturnal pain relieved by salicylates.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical presentation and advanced imaging modalities.
  • Recurrence after surgical excision, though uncommon, requires careful evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male experienced chronic, nocturnal left thigh pain, diagnosed as osteoid osteoma via radiography, CT, and bone scintigraphy.
  • Initial complete excision led to symptom remission, but pain recurred six months post-surgery.
  • Radiography showed sclerosis, while three-phase bone scintigraphy and CT confirmed recurrent osteoid osteoma.

Findings:

  • The diagnostic workup, including conventional radiography, computerized tomography (CT), and bone scintigraphy, initially identified osteoid osteoma.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Post-excision recurrence was evidenced by radiographic sclerosis and characteristic scintigraphic findings of increased blood pool and delayed focal uptake.
  • CT imaging corroborated the scintigraphy results, confirming the presence of recurrent osteoid osteoma.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of vigilant follow-up in pediatric osteoid osteoma patients, even after apparent complete resection.
    • Recurrence of osteoid osteoma can mimic initial presentation, underscoring the need for repeat advanced imaging.
    • Understanding the imaging characteristics of recurrent osteoid osteoma is crucial for timely and effective management in pediatric oncology.
