Objective:
Osteoid osteomas are benign painful skeletal neoplasms that preferentially afflict young male patients and are readily treatable. This article focuses on the various imaging manifestations of the tumor, while also discussing its clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and treatment.
Conclusion:
Knowledge of the common imaging features of osteoid osteomas will improve our diagnosis of this condition, subsequently facilitating treatment and reducing morbidity.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
