Abstract
Osteoid osteoma is a small, benign neoplasm that consists of well- dematcated nidus surrounded by reactive zone of sclerosis. Typically, this lesion occurs in or on the cortex which metaphysic or diaphysis of long bones. It occurs relatively frequently and is typical of late childhood, adolescent and young adult age. Pain is the usual presenting symptom. It is frequently dull and aching in nature. A characteristic feature is nighttime waking because of pain. I report on the clinical features, radiographic and histopathological findings, treatment and results of a patient who were managed for an osteoid osteoma at our department in 2003. I performed a CT-guided en block excision under arthroscopic control for juxta articular osteoma osteoid of knee.
