Abstract:
Osteoid osteoma is a benign primary bone tumor. This tumor is relatively frequent, accounting for 12% of all benign bone tumors and about 2-3% of all bone tumors. We report a new case of osteoid osteoma confirmed histologically. A 30-year old patient was referred for evaluation of chronic ankle pain. Front and lateral radiographs of the ankle showed a heterogeneous lesion located in the neck of the talus without soft tissue abnormalities. The CT scan of the ankle showed a nodular, hypodense lesion located in the neck of the talus with a limited osteosclerotic reaction.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...
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...
Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
