Hand osteoid osteoma: evaluation of diagnosis and treatment

ConclusionOsteoid osteoma is usually seen below 25  years, and rarely found over 40 years of age. There is male dominance with a male to female ratio of 3:1. Delay of diagnosis may be encountered because of many differential diagnoses. When OO is suspected, CT imaging should be taken before the MR imaging. Because of superiority in soft tissue ima ging, MR imaging should be an alternative tool in complex cases.
