Osteoid osteomas are benign bone neoplasms, occuring usually in the adolescent years, causing pain, often at night, usually relieved by anti-inflammatory drugs.
They are not difficult to diagnosis, though lesions in the neck of the femur and spine can be difficult. A combination of plain radiographs, MRI and thin-section, high-resolution CT, is usually enough.
Though surgery is the standard method of treatment, there is considerable morbidity. For some years now, radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) has been used to ablate (cook) these lesions, with considerable success and minimal morbidity.
