Abstract:SummaryOsteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour which is usually seen in long bones. Although the eventual treatment of this tumour is surgery, medical treatment is another option. We present the 3 years follow-up bone scintigraphy images of a patient with osteoid osteoma which show improvement by medical treatment.
BACKGROUND
Percutaneous excision with trephine is a more successful, effective, minimally invasive, safe and a better cosmetic approach in the treatment of osteoid osteoma. This method is also a cheap method that does not require expensive equipment.
