Osteoid Osteoma of the Scaphoid: Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign tumor that affects young subjects and locates itself electively in the long bones. Its localization at the level of the carp and in particular of the scaphoid is rare. We report a case of a young man who consulted for inflammatory pain of the right wrist in relation to an exceptional location of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid. The typical clinical signs of osteoid osteoma are highly pathognomonic, manifested by progressive inflammatory pain with nocturnal exacerbation, which improves after taking acetyl salicylate. The purpose of the standard wrist radiography is to confirm the diagnosis by finding and locating the nidus, CT and MRI allows better visualization of the tumor in order to plan the operative procedure. The surgical treatment by block resection of the lesion brings healing and allows a good anatomopathological analysis of the tumor postoperatively.
