Popis: A case report of an adult patient with an osteoid osteoma of the lamina of 9th thoracic vertebra is presented. The long history of progressively worsening nocturnal dorsal pain which was relieved by non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, and an essentially clinical examination, are typical of this condition in which the CT and radionuclide bone scans are the investigation of choice. Complete relief was obtained following excision of the lesion. The literature is reviewed.
