Osteoid Osteoma is a benign bone tumor characterized by the presence of a small, painful nidus or mass of osteoid tissue. Typically occurring in the long bones, such as the femur or tibia, osteoid osteomas are more common in young individuals, often presenting in the second or third decade of life. The tumors are often less than 1.5 cm in size. Characteristic symptoms include localized pain that worsens at night and responds to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans, reveal the nidus and surrounding reactive bone changes. Treatment options for osteoid osteoma include surgical excision or, increasingly, minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation. These interventions aim to alleviate pain and remove the tumor while preserving the structural integrity of the affected bone. While osteoid osteomas are generally benign, early detection and appropriate intervention are essential for symptom relief and preventing complications.
