Abstract
Osteoid osteoma is the 3rd most common benign osteogenic tumor characterized by the presence of an osteoid in the central nidus and an area of reactive osteosclerosis in the adjacent bone tissue. Disease pathogenesis is based on the production of prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin in the nidus causing local inflammation, vasodilation and osteosclerosis stimulation which leads to pain syndrome which can be managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The main diagnosis methods for osteoid osteoma are X-rays and computed tomography allowing to identify the type of tumor: dense bone tissue lesion with distinct scalloped borders including the central zone (nidus) surrounded by sclerosis. The article presents a rare clinical case of diagnosis and treatment of osteoid osteoma of the middle third of the radius. Long diagnostic search due to atypical tumor location negatively affects the patient’s quality of life, requires long-term administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
