This case study details a phalangeal osteoid osteoma in the hand. Surgical excision successfully removed the benign bone tumor, resolving night pain and swelling.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Skeletal Radiology
  • Bone Pathology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteomas are benign bone-forming tumors, often presenting with characteristic nocturnal pain.
  • Phalangeal osteoid osteomas, while less common, require accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Understanding the clinical and radiographic presentation is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with classic symptoms of phalangeal osteoid osteoma, including nocturnal pain relieved by aspirin and localized swelling.
  • Radiographic imaging revealed a sclerotic bone reaction surrounding a nidus, typical of osteoid osteoma.
  • Physical examination demonstrated tenderness at the affected site.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma after surgical excision.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The tumor was characterized by a nidus of osteoid osteoid and surrounding reactive bone sclerosis.
  • Complete symptom resolution was achieved post-operatively.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing the distinct clinical and radiographic features of phalangeal osteoid osteomas.
    • En bloc excision is an effective surgical treatment for symptomatic osteoid osteomas.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can lead to excellent patient outcomes and pain relief.
