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

Abstract

Highlights Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone neoplasm, with significant nocturnal pain that responds to NSAIDs. A case of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma involving the articular eminence and glenoid fossa of TMJ in a 46-years-old female is reported. CT scan imaging is helpful in displaying the typical radiographic features and localization of the lesion.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Basilar Border of the Mandible: A Diagnostic Dilemma

“…First described by Jaffe in 1935, osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor, not related to an infectious phenomenon. It frequently develops in long bones, but it very rarely occurs in the head and neck [ 7 ]. A review of the literature was carried out from the MEDLINE database via PubMed interface.…”

“…Unlike osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma has a larger size of >2 cm and up to 10 cm in aggressive patterns. They do not manifest surrounding reactive osteosclerosis, with the medullary bone of axial skeleton being affected in the majority of cases [ 7 ]. Besides, it is reported that osteoid osteoma does not recur after complete removal of the nidus, whereas recurrence of osteoblastoma after complete resection is reported in several cases [ 11 ].…”

“…Despite all these differences between the two entities, some authors suggest that osteoblastoma and osteoid osteoma are anatomic variants of the same osteoblastic-origin tumor, and separation of these two tumors is, therefore, not necessary [ 15 ]. In a study carried out in 2011, Barlow et al proposed to reclassify osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma into a single entity, demonstrating that both of them share new identical histopathological and immunohistochemical features [ 7 , 16 ]. Although ossifying fibroma has some features that are identical to osteoid osteoma, including the clinical and radiographical features, it is usually asymptomatic.…”

“…Spontaneous pain disappears immediately after the surgery, as reported in the present case [ 19 ]. Recently, minimally invasive interventions, such as CT, MRI-guided radiofrequency ablation, and CT-guided laser photocoagulation have been advanced [ 7 ].…”

Atualizações e avanços na etiopatogenia e tratamento dos tumores da articulação temporomandibular

“…Na ATM, na maioria dos casos relatados, a lesão envolve a cabeça do côndilo Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 10, e7139109104, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i10.9104 mandibular. Dependendo dos sintomas, o tratamento varia de medidas conservadoras, como o tratamento com AINES, a procedimentos mais invasivos, como a excisão cirúrgica, que pode trazer alívio imediato da dor (Issa et al, 2019).…”
