Abstract EN
Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) is an important cause of complaint in adolescents which can suggest many possible diseases.
Scientific literature concerning this complex symptom is wide and diversified.
We report a rare case of patellar osteoid osteoma which affected a thirteen-year-old female who had suffered from anterior left knee pain for almost six months.
The diagnosis was suspected from an accurate anamnesis, a careful clinical examination, and confirmed by imaging.
Several minimally invasive techniques can be employed to treat osteoid osteoma.
However, we consider CT-guided percutaneous drilling the safest and most effective procedure in case of patellar location.
Despite its rarity, patellar osteoid osteoma ranges in the differential diagnosis for all patients suffering from AKP.
