This study presents three cases of osteoid osteoma in the epiphysis, noting reactive synovitis and reduced joint mobility. Surgical resection proved to be the definitive treatment for these bone tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor typically found in the long bones.
  • Epiphyseal involvement is less common but can present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Understanding the presentation of epiphyseal osteoid osteoma is crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Observation:

  • Three cases of osteoid osteoma located in the epiphysis are detailed.
  • Patients exhibited reactive synovitis and decreased joint mobility due to lesion proximity.
  • Radiographic imaging was indispensable for accurate diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Epiphyseal osteoid osteomas can mimic intra-articular pathology, causing synovitis.
  • Reduced range of motion is a significant clinical sign associated with these tumors.

  • X-ray imaging is the cornerstone for identifying the nidus of osteoid osteoma.

    • Implications:

    • Early radiographic diagnosis is key to successful management of epiphyseal osteoid osteoma.
    • Surgical resection remains the gold standard for definitive treatment.
    • Recognizing the specific clinical and radiographic features aids in differentiating these tumors from other joint pathologies.
