Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Skeletal Radiology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors typically presenting with localized pain.
  • Multifocal presentation is rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male experienced persistent right leg pain.
  • Radiography revealed cortical thickening and medullary sclerosis in the distal tibia.
  • CT imaging demonstrated a circumscribed, annular pattern indicative of multifocality.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of multifocal osteoid osteoma.
  • The lesion exhibited characteristic osteoid matrix and sclerotic bone.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering multifocal osteoid osteoma in adolescents with unexplained leg pain.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging and histopathology in accurate diagnosis.
  • Informs orthopedic surgeons and radiologists about this rare variant.
