Popis: Osteoid osteoma is a relatively common benign bone tumor that is most frequently seen on the appendicular skeleton in adolescents and young adults. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with a 10 month history of pain in his left foot which had been misdiagnosed as stress fracture due to its unusual clinical presentation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left foot revealed a bone lesion with typical features of the osteoid osteoma on the distal part of the second metatarsal bone. The lesion was surgically removed and the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was confirmed by post-surgical histopathologic examination of the resected section. The patient reported a substantial relief in his pain 4 weeks following the surgical operation.
