Chronic temporomandibular joint pain: two cases of osteoid osteoma and a review of the literature

Sacroiliitis as a mask of neoplasms in childhood: analysis of a clinical case series

“…Остеоид-остеома является третьей по распространенности (около 11-14%) доброкачественной опухолью среди всех новообразований скелета после остеохондромы (48%) и энхондромы (23%) [9]. Опухоль имеет вид небольшого очага круглой или овальной формы, обозначаемого как nidus (гнездо), нередко с костным включением внутри («ядро» остеоид-остеомы) и характерной перифокальной зоной остеосклероза или гиперостоза [10]. Обычно опухоль не превышает 1,5 см в диаметре [11], располагается в длинных трубчатых (бедренные и большеберцовые) костях, реже затрагивает позвоночник, кости кистей и стоп [12], тогда как локализация в костях таза, особенно в зоне КПС, считается редкой.…”

Benign Tumors of Temporomandibular Joint

“…It is more common in males [2]. Osteoid osteoma is rarely described in TMJ [49]. The trio of complaints for osteoid osteoma of the jaw is pain, swelling and tenderness [50].…”

Intra-articular osteoid osteoma of tempromandibular joint: A case report

“…This tumor comprises about 10% of all benign bone tumors and occurs most frequently during the second decade of life, although its occurrence in a wider age-range has been documented; it is three-times more common in males than females [3]. Osteoid osteoma occurs as a nidus of active remodeling bone within a vascular stroma, surrounded by a reactive sclerotic cortex, and has limited growth potential, reaching a maximum size of just 1.5–2 cm [4,5]. Depending on its clinical presentation, treatment ranges from conservative measures, such as treatment with NSAIDs in the acute stage, to more invasive procedures, for example surgical excision, which can bring immediate pain-relief [5].…”

The long bones of the lower extremities and the vertebrae are the bones most commonly affected by this tumor, with the proximal femur being the most common site [4,6].…”

“…However, osteoid osteoma may occur in any part of the skeleton, including joints, showing an intra-articular variant of the lesion [7]. Few cases have been reported to occur in the craniofacial complex; of those reported that have affected the jaws, a marked predilection for the mandible was seen [5,6].…”
