Abstract
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that rarely occurs in the bones of the hand. Due to the comparatively non-specific symptoms when occurring in the hand, OO is often misdiagnosed at first presentation, posing a diagnostic challenge. In the present case study, six cases of phalangeal and carpal OO, treated surgically at our department between 2006 and 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. We compared all cases regarding demographic data, clinical presentation, imaging findings, time to diagnosis, surgical treatment, and clinical outcome in follow-up examinations. When OO occurs in the bones of the hand, it can lead to swelling and deformities, such as enlargement of the affected bone and nail hypertrophy. Initial misdiagnoses such as primary bone tumors other than OO, tendinitis, osteomyelitis, or arthritis are common. Most of the presented cases showed a prolonged time until diagnosis, whereby the primarily performed imaging modality was often not sensitive. CT proved to be the most sensitive sectional imaging modality for diagnosing OO. With adequate surgical treatment, complications and recurrence are rare.

Osteoid osteoma in the bones of the hand: a systematic literature review. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023:10.1007/s00402-023-04839-5. [PMID: 36939892 PMCID: PMC10374483 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-04839-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 03/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common benign bone tumor. OO is observed most frequently in the long bones, especially in the tibia and femur. When occurring in the bones of the hand, OO can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of occurrence, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options regarding OO in hand bones. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature. All studies from the online databases PubMed and SpringerLink, which reported cases of osteoid osteomas in the bones of the hand, were included. By summarizing the literature, we evaluated the localization within the hand as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options. RESULTS We included 133 studies reporting 401 cases. OO was mostly common in the phalanges. The diagnosis was mostly made by CT (computed tomography) scan. Most of the OO were treated surgically by open curettage or en bloc resection. CONCLUSIONS Osteoid osteomas in the bones of the hand are rare and a delayed diagnosis is common. In cases of pain combined with particular symptoms such as nail hypertrophy and swelling OO should be considered. Of the most used imaging methods, CT scans have the highest sensitivity.

Abstract
Aims Proximal femoral osteoid osteoma (OO) is extremely easy to be misdiagnosed or missed. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with proximal femoral OO in order to determine the clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics of the disease, so as to provide help for the preoperative diagnosis and clinical treatment of proximal femoral OO. Methods This was a retrospective study involving 35 patients with proximal femoral OO admitted into our hospital from January 2015 to January 2021. The baseline characteristics of the participants included; 24 males and 11 females, aged between 13 and 25 (mean 16.2) years old, and the course of the disease was 1 to 14 (mean 6.3) months. We used previous medical experience records of the patients to analyze for the causes of misdiagnosis. Moreover, we compared the difference between preoperative and postoperative treatment practices in alleviating pain in OO patients and restoring hip function. Follow-ups were carried out regularly, and patients advised to avoid strenuous exercises for 3 months. Results We followed up 35 patients (25 intercortical, 4 sub-periosteal, and 6 medullary) for an average of 41.4 months. We found that 15 patients (42.9%) had been misdiagnosed of synovitis, perthes disease, osteomyelitis, intra-articular infection, joint tuberculosis and hip impingement syndrome, whose average time from symptoms to diagnosis were 6.3 months. Postoperative pain score and joint function score improved significantly compared with preoperative, and complications were rare. Conclusion Open surgical resection constitutes an effective treatment for proximal femoral OO by accurately and completely removing the nidus. Wrong choice of examination, and the complexity and diversity of clinical manifestations constitutes the main reasons for the misdiagnosis of proximal femoral OO.

Abstract
Intraartikuläre Osteoidosteome (IAOO) sind mit 10 % aller Osteoidosteome selten. Die atypischen klinischen und radiologischen Befunde führen meist zu einem langen Intervall zwischen Beschwerdebeginn und Diagnosestellung sowie Einleitung einer adäquaten Therapie. Dieser Fallbericht handelt von einer 32-jährigen Patientin, die seit Jahren intermittierende Kniegelenksschmerzen bei tiefer Beugung und selten nachts angibt. Bei IAOO in der Trochlea femoris war eine Radiofrequenzablation (RFA) aufgrund der direkt subchondralen Lage kontraindiziert. Daher erfolgte eine operative Sanierung mittels Knorpel-Knochen-Transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular osteoid osteoma (iaOO) can be found in 5.2% up to 10% of cases. They may cause non-specific symptoms, mimicking degenerative or traumatic pathologies. If iaOO is left untreated, it may lead to severe muscle atrophy, tenderness, swelling, and limited range of motion. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. The main goal of surgical treatment is complete removal or destruction of iaOO.
AIM To evaluate the efficiency of arthroscopic removal of iaOO of the knee in our cases and cases available in the literature.
METHODS Analysis of available hospital records of four patients with iaOO of the knee treated by arthroscopic removal from August 2005 to December 2015 at our Department was performed. All patients had a diagnosis of iaOO confirmed by histopathologic analysis. Additional literature review of cases of iaOO of the knee available on PubMed and Google Scholar was made. All cases of iaOO of the knee treated by arthroscopic or arthroscopically assisted removal were reviewed in order to further evaluate the efficiency of the method.
RESULTS The average age of patients included in our study was 23.2 (range 16-37) years. The average duration of the symptoms prior to surgery was 14.2 (range 6-24) months. All of the patients had persistent knee pain. Three patients reported worsening of pain during the night, while two reported worsening of pain during activity. Three patients reported alleviation of pain on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while one patient reported partial alleviation of pain on NSAIDs. No intraoperative complications were noted, and the postoperative period was uneventful in all patients. The patients reported immediate pain relief in the postoperative period. No recurrence of the disease was noted in any of the patients during the follow-up period of at least 24 mo. The literature review revealed 14 cases with an average age of 27.6 (range 16-48) years and onset of symptoms 27.7 (range 6-108) months prior to surgery, with recurrence of the disease noted in a single case.
CONCLUSION Arthroscopic removal is an efficient treatment method that allows excision of iaOO that is neither insufficient nor excessive, thus avoiding disease recurrence while obtaining adequate material for histopathologic analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoid osteomas belong to the benign osseous neoplasia and can occur on the entire skeleton. The prolonged diagnosis of an osteoid osteoma of the great toe prompted us to prepare a case report with a literature review to identify possible sources of error and to contribute to a more expeditious diagnosis and therapy. LITERATURE Currently, only two case reports on osteoid osteomas of the toes are known in the German literature. Internationally, however, a large number of cases have been described, which, when viewed as a whole, present a homogeneous picture. A very clear accumulation of osteoid osteomas at the distal phalanx of the great toe suggests a possible post-traumatic aetiology. The typical NSAID-sensitive night pain is clinically unambiguous and should make one think of an osteoid osteoma at any site on the body. The symptom of macrodactyly, which is unique to the toes, is striking and may provide a helpful clue to establishing the diagnosis. The median time from symptom onset to correct diagnosis was 12 months. One possible reason for this prolonged diagnosis is the often atypical and ambiguous imaging. Surgical therapy is the method of choice for osteoid osteomas of the toes and should always be supplemented by histopathologic examination.

Bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture in a cohort of patients with Erdheim-Chester Disease. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2020; 15:236.

Abstract
Background Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare type of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. Skeletal structures are affected in over 95% ECD patients. Due to the lack of proper imaging assessment tools, the alteration of bone microarchitecture in ECD has not been well studied. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a newly developed assessment of bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture. Methods We performed a cross-sectional study with 13 patients diagnosed with ECD in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2018 and June 2019. The diagnosis of ECD was based on typical pathological findings in the context of appropriate clinical and radiological manifestations. Bone geometry, volumetric bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture of those ECD patients were assessed using HR-pQCT at the non-dominant distal radius and distal tibia. Those HR-pQCT parameters were then compared to an ongoing population-based database of HR-pQCT for Mainland Chinese. Results As a result, remarkable heterogeneity of osteosclerosis in the HR-pQCT images was found in ECD patients, ranging from apparent normal structure, scattered thickening of trabecula, to homogenous consolidation. In terms of quantitative measurements, total volumetric BMD (383.50 mg/cm3, 1.352 times of normal mean, p = 0.023) of the tibia differed significantly in ECD patients, due to the increased trabecular volumetric BMD (291 mg/cm3, 2.058 times of normal mean, p = 0.003). The increased trabecular volumetric BMD of tibia was associated with remarkably increased number of trabecula (1.7/mm, 1.455 times of normal mean, p = 0.002) and increased thickness of trabecula (0.37 mm, 1.466 times of normal mean, p = 0.003). These differences could be due to the existence of dense bone interposed in the trabecula. Conclusion This study is the first to assess the volumetric bone mineral density and bone microstructure with HR-pQCT in a cohort of ECD patients and indicated that the application of HR-pQCT may help to reveal the nature of bone lesions in the disease.
