      Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor that accounts for approximately 12% of all benign bone tumors1. Affected patients are usually adolescents and young adults, with 70% of patients being younger than twenty years of age at the time of diagnosis. The male:female ratio is 2:12. Patients typically present with dull, aching pain that has been persistent for weeks to months, is characteristically worse at night, and is relieved with aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Most lesions develop in the cortex or beneath the periosteum of the long bones, although a minority are intramedullary2.
