Abstract
Abstract:
Osteoid osteoma is the most common benign bone forming tumor characterized by a nidus surrounded by reactive sclerotic bone typically associated with nocturnal pain and most common in males less than 30 years. Diagnosis may be difficult in cases of atypical presentation, intraarticular localizations or very small size. Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the promising treatment methods being used with an advantage of minimal invasion, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization. We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with osteoid osteoma of neck of femur managed successfully with radiofrequency ablation. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported on radiofrequency ablation in Nepal.
