Summary

Epiphyseal osteoid osteomas can cause long-term joint pain and swelling. Surgical removal of these bone tumors leads to full recovery, restoring joint function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors that typically occur in the long bones of the appendicular skeleton.
  • Epiphyseal involvement of osteoid osteomas is rare, often presenting diagnostic challenges due to atypical symptoms.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to chronic joint pain, swelling, and functional impairment.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of epiphyseal osteoid osteoma are presented.
  • Patients experienced a 1-2 year history of monoarthritis affecting the knee and ankle.
  • Symptoms included significant joint swelling and impaired function.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in both epiphyseal lesions.
  • Surgical excision of the osteoid osteoma was performed in both cases.
  • Complete resolution of symptoms and restoration of joint function were observed post-operatively.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the importance of considering epiphyseal osteoid osteoma in the differential diagnosis of chronic pediatric monoarthritis.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes and preventing long-term joint damage.
  • Further research into the specific presentation and management of epiphyseal osteoid osteomas is warranted.
