Osteoid Osteoma of the Distal Metaphysis Radios: Report of a Case

Osteoid Osteoma is a benign tumor often involving long bones of lower limb and diaphysis. This article is a case report of osteoid osteoma of the right distal metaphysis of radius. The Patient: A 26-year male computer operator referred with the chief complaint of pain in the right wrist, from three years ago, manifested as a small bone tumor in the distal radius. The pain was intermittent, tending to become more severe at night, with only ibuprofen (tablet) being effective on his pain. MRI and X-ray images taken from the wrist signified osteoid osteoma. Finally, the tumor was removed under general anesthesia, and biopsy confirmed the osteoid osteoma too. Conclusion: One of the causes of chronic wrist pain can be osteoid osteoma, and should be differentiated from Carpal tunnel syndrome, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis and lymphoproliferative Synovitis.
