| Popis: | We describe a patient who had an osteoid osteoma involving the epiphysis. The nidus abutted the growth plate and the lesion caused numerous problems in diagnosis and treatment. The case is unusual because osteoid osteomas are almost always located in the metaphysis or diaphysis of long bones. Only 13 cases involving the epiphysis have been reported [i 3]. In the case we present, newer imaging techniques for diagnosis and treatment were used. |
