Abstract EN
A twenty-two-year-old right-handed male with rare affection of osteoid osteoma of the left thumb was presented.
CT was performed revealing a characteristic nidus.
Resection of the tumor was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.
At 4-month postoperative follow-up visit, the patient had complete return of functions with full range of motion of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints without pain or neurological deficit.
Classical symptoms include nighttime pain and effective pain response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Complete resection is necessary for complete resolution.
