A Rare Case with Osteoid Osteoma of Distal Phalanx

This case of osteoid osteoma is reported for two reasons. First for its rarity and unusual location and second because it demonstrates that the history of a painful condition may lead to the correct diagnosis . A 17-year-old boy experienced spontaneous nightly pain in the distal phalanx of his right forth toe. At first because of pain , sewelling and tenderness infection was considered and he received antibiotics. After several months x-rays showed a cystic lucency and after surgery the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was established.
