Osteoid osteoma of the acetabular roof: a case report.
Journal of Medical Case Reports 2016 August 25
BACKGROUND: An acetabular location of osteoid osteoma is rare and represents less than 1 % of cases. The purpose of this clinical case report is to highlight the unusual location of osteoid osteoma and the technical difficulty of its removal.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 17-year-old Moroccan Arab boy who presented with pain in his right hip with lameness. The diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was made by imagery and confirmed by histological examination. The treatment consisted of a complete percutaneous resection scanno-guided of the nidus. The evolution was marked by complete healing with total and definitive disappearance of symptoms after 1 year.
CONCLUSIONS: Osteoid osteoma of the acetabular roof is rare. The diagnosis is now easy because of the evolution of imaging. Treatment is exclusively surgical. Complete resection guarantees the absence of recurrence. The difficulty of the surgical procedure is due to the deep localization of the osteoid osteoma and because it is endosseous, it is also dangerous due to anatomical relationships and the small size of the osteoid osteoma.
