UNCOMMON PRESENTATION OF OSTEOID OSTEOMA IN THE ELBOW: CASE REPORT
Osteoid osteoma is the third most common benign bone neoplasm. The femur and tibia are the most affected sites. In this case, unusually, we report its occurrence in the elbow with intra-articular presentation, which many times, as in this patient, can delay the definitive diagnosis. Open surgery, available at the case service, was chosen as the treatment and used for complete removal of the tumor, which had histopathological analysis confirmed for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.

Abstract:
Osteoid osteoma is the third most common benign bone neoplasm. The femur and tibia are the most affected sites. In this case, unusually, we report its occurrence in the elbow with intra-articular presentation, which many times, as in this patient, can delay the definitive diagnosis. Open surgery, available at the case service, was chosen as the treatment and used for complete removal of the tumor, which had histopathological analysis confirmed for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.
