Q

You have a 25M patient with a limp and referred pain to their knee. Their dull, aching, pain is worse at night, but it gets better if he takes an aspirin. The doctor says he has a benign bone tumor that builds bone. He forgot the name of it. Although this is an atypical presentation of it, the bone tumor you suspect is…

osteoid osteoma

Q

What are indications for ordering a CT w IV contrast after visualizing a osteoid osteoma on XR

A
  • XR appears abnormal but nidus isnt visible
  • residual or recurent tumor present
  • tumor located in critical area (spine or femoral neck)

Q

A 19y/o M patient presents with constant dull, aching pain in his left thigh. He reports its worse at night and wakes him from sleep and improves with NSAIDs or aspirin. you order an XR which is clear. what other scans could you order and what would you see

A
  • CT w/IV contrast (WITHHHH, doesnt say what youd see)
  • radionuclide scanning aka bone scan (double density sign)
  • MRI w/gadolinium (only if cant get CT either)

this is osteoid osteoma

Q

What is the treatment & prognosis for osteoid osteoma

A
  1. NSAIDs w serial imaging Q 4-6 mo
  2. if uncontrolled pain, limp or scoliosis occur refer to surgery
  3. untreated (nonsurgical) patients will resolve spontaneously
