Osteoid osteoma of the clavicle

We describe a case of osteoid osteoma of the clavicle in an Olympic free-style wrestler who presented to us with persistent and increasingly elevated pain in his right shoulder. Originally a persistent injury was considered to be causing the pain, however, the correct diagnosis was made three months after the onset of the symptoms. Even in sportsman where muscle pain is commonplace, non-traumatic conditions should be considered in the presence of persistent and increasingly elevated pain that is not relieved by rest and physiotherapy.
