Mini-open excision of osteoid osteoma using burrs with the guidance of O-arm navigation / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the surgical method and clinical effect of O-arm navigation mini-open burring for osteoid osteoma.Methods:Eighteen patients with osteoid osteoma were treated with O-arm guided grinding drill from June 2021 to May 2022, including 15 males and 3 females, the age was (18.4 ±10.9) years (range 2 to 44 years), and the course of disease ranged from 1 week to 3 years (mean 14.2 months). The lesions sites included 6 cases of proximal femur, 3 cases of distal femur, 4 cases of proximal tibia, 1 case of distal tibia, 2 cases of proximal fibula and 1 case of distal and proximal humerus. During the operation, the O-arm navigation was used to determine the location of the focus, the muscle and soft tissue was peeled off to the bone surface through a 1-4 cm small incision, the channel retractor was placed, and the burr was registered as a navigation recognition device to gradually remove the bone on the surface of the tumor nest, and the tumor nest was scraped with a curette for pathological examination; according to the navigation image, the focus was enlarged removed with burr and the grinding range was confirmed by the O-arm X-ray machine before the end of the operation. The patients were followed up for 6 to 15 months (mean 9.5 months). CT scans were performed before and after surgery for imaging comparison in order to figure out whether it had residual lesions or recurrence. The visual analogue score (VAS) of pain was used as a parameter for evaluating the clinical efficacy.Results:The operation time of 18 cases was 40-175 min, with an average of 89.3 min. The time required to establish navigation image was 18.0 ±4.1 min (range 13 ~ 22 min). The length of the incision was 2.7±1.1 cm (range 1-4 cm). All patients achieved complete curettage of the lesions, and osteoid osteoma was confirmed by pathology after operation. All the patients could move to the ground 24 hours after operation, and the pain was significantly relieved from 3 to 7 d after operation, and the pain almost disappeared 3 months after operation. The VAS score of 18 cases was 5.33±1.24 before surgery, 2.79±1.32 on the 3rd day, 1.86±1.21 on the 7th day, 0.86±0.93 on the 1st month, 0.33±0.48 on the 3rd month, and 0.09±0.29 on the 6th month after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=58.50, P<0.001). There were no serious complications during and after operation, and the success rate of treatment (no recurrence of symptoms, no residual recurrence of imaging lesions, no serious complications after operation) was 100%. Conclusion:Treatment of osteoid osteoma with mini-open excision using burrs under the navigation of O-arm is a simple, safe, minimally invasive and efficient technique. Intraoperative precise positioning and the use of burr with navigation to remove a larger area than the tumor nest are the keys to successful treatment.

Multicentric osteoblastoma-like: report of a rare case in the craniofacial region / Osteoblastoma-like multicêntrico: relato de um caso raro na região craniofacial

ABSTRACT The osteoblastoma-like tumor is a rare condition with limited information about its treatment in the current medical literature. The tumor histologically resembles osteoblastoma, although the imaging features are similar to those seen in primary vascular lesions. Due to the uncertainty in the biological behavior of this tumor and because it is an unusual diagnosis, treatment can be aggressive, such as amputation, en bloc resection, and/or chemotherapy. This work reports a rare case of a patient with multicentric osteoblastoma-like in the craniofacial region, treated aggressively with total resection of the lesions.

RESUMEN El tipo osteoblastoma es una afección poco común y la literatura médica actual tiene información limitada sobre su tratamiento. Es histológicamente similar al osteoblastoma, aunque las características de las imágenes son similares a las que se observan en las lesiones vasculares primarias. Por la incertidumbre de su comportamiento biológico y por tratarse de un diagnóstico poco habitual, el tratamiento puede ser agresivo, con amputación, resección en bloque y/o quimioterapia. Este trabajo reporta un caso raro de osteoblastoma multicéntrico en la región craneofacial, tratado de manera agresiva con resección total de las lesiones.

RESUMO O osteoblastoma-like é uma condição rara, e a literatura médica atual tem informações limitadas sobre seu tratamento. Ele se assemelha histologicamente ao osteoblastoma, embora as características imaginológicas sejam semelhantes às observadas nas lesões vasculares primárias. Devido à incerteza do seu comportamento biológico e por se tratar de um diagnóstico incomum, o tratamento pode ser agressivo, com amputação, ressecção em bloco e/ou quimioterapia. Este trabalho relata um caso raro de osteoblastoma-like multicêntrico em região craniofacial, tratado de forma agressiva com ressecção total das lesões.

Resection of Bone Tumor Guided by Gamma Probe and Evaluation of Postoperative Pain / Ressecção de tumor ósseo guiado por Gamaprobe e avaliação do quadro álgico pós-operatório

Abstract Osteoid osteoma is a benign neoplasm commonly found in young men, but that can be found in every age, which affects mainly long bones, clinically characterized by continuous and limiting pain that is relieved by salicylates. It is a small lesion composed of immature osteoid tissue, central hypervascularization and surrounding sclerotic area. Its diagnosis is performed by the clinic and aided by imaging tests, such as common radiography and computed tomography. Radiography shows a central radiolucent lesion and peripheral sclerosis. The biopsy takes place only in cases of diagnostic doubt. Surgical treatment involves resection of the niche, providing greater symptomatic relief, as well as percutaneous techniques. The technique of radioisotope-guided resection has good acceptance in the scientific community for its fast surgical procedure directed to the lesion; however, the percutaneous technique that stands out is radiofrequency ablation. In the present study, all of the patients submitted to the technique presented total improvement of the pain.

Resumo O osteoma osteóide é uma neoplasia benigna comum em homens jovens; porém, pode atingir qualquer idade, acomete preferencialmente ossos longos, e é caracterizada por dor contínua e limitante que é aliviada por salicilatos. É uma lesão de tamanho pequeno, composta por tecido osteóide imaturo, hipervascularização central e área esclerótica circundante. O diagnóstico é realizado pela clínica e auxiliado por exames de imagem, como radiografia comum e tomografia computadorizada. À radiografia, apresenta-se como uma lesão radiolucente central e esclerose periférica. A biópsia está indicada somente nos casos de dúvida diagnóstica. O tratamento cirúrgico envolve a ressecção do nicho, proporcionando maior alívio sintomático, assim como as técnicas percutâneas. A técnica de ressecção guiada por radioisótopo tem boa aceitação na comunidade científica por tornar o procedimento cirúrgico mais rápido e dirigido para a lesão, ainda que o padrão ouro de tratamento seja a técnica percutânea de ablação por radiofrequência. É válido ressaltar que, no presente estudo, todos os pacientes submetidos à resecção cirúrgica apresentaram regressão do quadro álgico.

Analysis of whole-body bone scintigraphy and SPECT/CT imaging in osteoid osteoma / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

The usefulness of chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of osteoid osteoma / O uso da sequência T1 em fase e fora de fase da ressonância magnética para a avaliação do osteoma osteoide

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be useful in the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma when clinical and radiological tumor features are inconclusive. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 17 patients who underwent chemical-shift MRI for the evaluation of osteoid osteoma. For all patients, two musculoskeletal radiologists independently recorded signal intensities on in-phase and out-of-phase images in the nidus of the tumor, in abnormal-intensity bone marrow surrounding the lesion, and in normal-appearing bone marrow. For each region, relative signal intensity ratios were calculated by dividing out-of-phase by in-phase values. Relative ratios > 1 were considered indicative of neoplastic lesions. Statistical analysis was carried out to analyze the sample. Inter-observer and intra-observer agreement for each imaging method were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients according to the Fleiss method and a value > 0.65 was considered to indicate substantial agreement. Results: The mean relative signal intensity ratios were 1.2 (range, 0.9-1.4) for the nidus and 0.35 (range, 0.11-0.66) for the surrounding tissue; these values differed significantly from the relative signal-intensity ratios for normal-appearing bone marrow (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Chemical-shift MRI is useful for the diagnosis and evaluation of osteoid osteoma.

Resumo Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar se a sequência T1 em fase e fora de fase da ressonância magnética (RM) poderia ser útil no diagnóstico de osteoma osteoide em situações nas quais características clínicas e radiológicas são indefinidas. Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo retrospectivo incluiu 17 pacientes submetidos a RM para avaliação do osteoma osteoide. Em todos os pacientes, dois radiologistas musculoesqueléticos registraram, independentemente, as intensidades de sinal em imagens em fase e fora de fase no nidus do tumor, na medula óssea de intensidade anormal ao redor da lesão e na medula óssea de aspecto normal. Para cada região, as relações de intensidade de sinal relativas foram calculadas dividindo os valores na sequência fora de fase pelos valores em fase. Razões relativas > 1 foram consideradas indicativas de lesões neoplásicas. A análise estatística foi realizada para analisar a amostra. A concordância interobservador e intraobservador para cada método de imagem foi avaliada por meio dos coeficientes de correlação intraclasse, segundo o método de Fleiss, e considerou-se um valor > 0,65 para indicar concordância substancial. Resultados: As razões de intensidade de sinal relativa média foram 1,2 (variação: 0,9-1,4) para o nidus e 0,35 (variação: 0,11-0,66) para o tecido circundante. Estes valores diferiram significativamente das relações de sinal-intensidade relativa da medula óssea com aspecto normal (p < 0,05). Conclusão: A sequência em fase e fora de fase da RM mostrou-se útil para o diagnóstico e avaliação do osteoma osteoide.

Computed tomography-guided percutaneous trephine removal of the nidus in osteoid osteoma patients: experience of a single center in Brazil / Remoção percutânea guiada por tomografia computadorizada do nidus em paciente com osteoma osteoide: experiência de um único centro no Brasil

AbstractObjective:To report the results of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous resection of the nidus in 18 cases of osteoid osteoma.Materials and Methods:The medical records of 18 cases of osteoid osteoma in children, adolescents and young adults, who underwent CT-guided removal of the nidus between November, 2004 and March, 2009 were reviewed retrospectively for demographic data, lesion site, clinical outcome and complications after procedure.Results:Clinical follow-up was available for all cases at a median of 29 months (range 6–60 months). No persistence of pre-procedural pain was noted on 17 patients. Only one patient experienced recurrence of symptoms 12 months after percutaneous resection, and was successfully retreated by the same technique, resulting in a secondary success rate of 18/18 (100%).Conclusion:CT-guided removal or destruction of the nidus is a safe and effective alternative to surgical resection of the osteoid osteoma nidus.

ResumoObjetivo:Avaliar os resultados da ressecção percutânea do nidus guiada por tomografia computadorizada em 18 casos de osteoma osteoide.Materiais e Métodos:Os prontuários médicos de 18 crianças, adolescentes e adultos jovens diagnosticados com osteoma osteoide e submetidos a ressecção percutânea do nidus guiada por TC, entre novembro de 2004 e março de 2009, foram revisados retrospectivamente para coleta de dados demográficos, local da lesão, evolução clínica e complicações após o procedimento.Resultados:A mediana de tempo de seguimento de todos os pacientes foi 29 meses (intervalo de 6–60 meses). Dezessete pacientes não apresentaram recorrência da dor no pós-operatório. Apenas um paciente teve recorrência dos sintomas 12 meses após a ressecção percutânea e foi retratado com sucesso, pela mesma técnica, resultando numa taxa de sucesso secundário de 18/18 (100%).Conclusão:A ressecção guiada por tomografia computadorizada do nidus é uma alternativa segura e eficaz para a ressecção cirúrgica do nidus em pacientes com osteoma osteoide.

CT-guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in femoral neck：preliminary experience in 6 cases / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation in treating osteoid osteoma located at femoral neck. Methods Six patients with osteoid osteomas in the femoral neck received CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. In all patients the main complaint was pain at the hip, and the course of disease varied from one month to 2 years, with an average of 8 months. Under spinal anesthesia the surgery was performed. With the help of CT guidance , a 3.5 to 4.0 mm coaxial drill system was inserted into the nidus, and an osseous access was established, then the bone biopsy needle was used to obtain specimens for pathological examination. Subsequently, a 1.5 to 2.0 cm active tip was introduced through a non-cooled radiofrequency needle into the nidus. Radiofrequency ablation was performed with the therapeutic temperature of 90℃, lasting for 6 minutes. The pain visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness. The postoperative MRI findings were compared with the preoperative ones. Results Three days after the treatment, different degrees of pain relief was obtained in all patients, and all patients could get out of bed and walked around in one week. Postoperative VSA was significantly decreased (P<0.01). No severe complications occurred during and after the procedure. And no recurrence was seen during the follow-up period. Conclusion For the treatment of osteoid osteoma located at femoral neck, CT-guided radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment with fewer complications and satisfactory clinical results.

Osteoma osteoide em escafoide: relato de caso / Osteoid osteoma in scaphoid: case report

O osteoma osteoide é um tumor benigno osteoblástico, incomum na mão. A localização nos ossos do carpo é infrequente, a qual leva a erros no diagnóstico em decorrência do polimorfismo de sinais clínicos. Na revisão bibliográfica foram referidos nove casos de osteoma osteoide no escafoide. Relata-se um caso de osteoma osteoide no escafoide, tratado inicialmente como tenossinovite estenosante de De Quervain, tendo diagnóstico definitivo retardado por cinco anos.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor that is unusual in the hand. A location in the carpal bones is infrequent, which leads to errors in diagnosing it because of polymorphism of the clinical symptoms. Reviewing the literature shows that nine cases of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid have been reported. Here, one case of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid that was initially treated as De Quervain's stenosing tenosynovitis is reported, with a definitive diagnosis that was delayed for five years.

Conclusions: when the tumoral lesion is based on the cortex of a long bone, is preferred resection by slicing the sclerotic bone to expose the nest of osteoid osteoma, and then bone curettage

Osteoma osteoide no osso ilíaco: relato de dois casos / Osteoid osteoma in the iliac bone: report on two cases

O osteoma osteoide é um tumor benigno do osso que se apresenta geralmente com dor noturna em adultos jovens, aliviada por repouso e salicilatos. Pode acometer qualquer osso, mas sua ocorrência no ilíaco é infrequente. Os autores descrevem dois casos de osteoma osteoide intramedular, localizado junto à articulação sacroilíaca, com sintomas que simulavam dor ciática e cujo diagnóstico se deu de forma tardia, apesar de o exame radiológico inicial mostrar lesão esclerótica em ambos os casos. O diagnóstico foi ratificado por tomografia computadorizada e o tratamento proposto foi a ressecção em bloco da lesão, com excisão do nidus. O diagnóstico definitivo foi confirmado pelo exame histopatológico. No seguimento de longo prazo, ambos estão assintomáticos e observou-se completa remodelação óssea no sítio cirúrgico. Os autores enfatizam as características típicas do tumor, a localização não usual, o diagnóstico diferencial e o tratamento.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that generally presents with nighttime pain among young adults and is relieved by rest and salicylates. It can affect any bone, but occurrences in the iliac are unusual. The authors describe two cases of intramedullary osteoid osteoma next to the sacroiliac joint, with symptoms that simulated sciatic pain. The cases were diagnosed late, although the initial radiographs showed sclerotic lesions in both cases. The diagnosis was confirmed by means of CT scan and the nidus was excised surgically through en bloc resection. The definitive diagnosis was given by means of histopathological examination. Over long-term follow-up, both cases remained asymptomatic and complete bone remodeling at the surgical site was observed. The authors highlight the typical characteristics of the tumor, the unusual location, the differential diagnosis and the treatment.

Clinical and imaging features of intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the femoral neck / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical and imaging characteristics of osteoid osteoma in femoral neck and to improve diagnostic accuracy of this disease.Methods Twenty-one patients (18 males and 3 females,age,7-26 years,median age,13 years) with pathologically proven osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck were retrospectively analyzed for their clinical profile and radiologic features.CT and X-ray examinations were performed in all patients,10 of them pefformed post-contrast CT scan and 4 of them performed MRI examinations.Results Nineteen patients had hip pain (pain worse at night in 11,and 8 received salicylates treatment with good response),and 2 patients only with intermittent claudication.The duration ranged from 2 months to 54 months (median duration 12 months).X-ray: Nidus was seen on plain film in 10 cases,18 cases showed different degrees of bone sclerosis of the nidus.CT: Nidus was demonstrated in all cases.Among them,8 were intracortical,6 were subperiosteal,7 were endosteal.Twenty cases showed different degrees of bone sclerosis of the nidus-extra-articular anteromedial cortical surface of the femur neck.Nineteen cases showed vascular groove sign.MRI: Nidus was seen in 4 cases.Bone sclerosis was low signal on all sequences.Three cases had joint effusion,4 cases had bone marrow edema,and 2 cases had synovial thickening.Conclusions Although osteoid osteoma of femoral neck has non-specific clinical features,the radiographic findings are usually typical.The nidus of osteoid osteoma is often located within the joint.Bony sclerosis occurs at the area of extra-articular anteromedial cortical surface of the femur neck.CT examination remains an optimal method to identify the nidus.

Osteoid osteoma in mandible / 대한구강악안면방사선학회지

A 12-year-old female was referred from a dental clinic due to a radiolucent area under the lower right first and second premolars. The lesion was diagnosed as a simple bone cyst radiographically. However, she complained lasting pain during 10 month follow up. Therefore curettage was performed and it defined as an osteoid osteoma on the histopathologic examination. As the lesion recurred, one year later, enucleation was performed. We report this case to help the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in mandible.

The clinical applications of CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation of hip osteoid osteoma / 中华骨科杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the treatment for hip osteoid osteoma by CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation. Methods From August 2006 to January 2010, 8 patients with the osteoid osteomas of the hip were treated with CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation, including 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 18.8 years (range, 12 to 25). The history of local pain was ranging from 2 months to 10 years, with aggravation of pain at night. The locations of the lesions contained: 4cases in the neck of femur, 2 in the lesser trochanter, 1 in the greater trochanter and 1 in the femoral intertrochanteric line. After localization of the nidus with CT, osseous access was established with a Gallini puncturatio needle. After scanning the nidus with CT, a trocar was used to obtain specimens for pathological examination. Subsequently, a microwave probe was introduced through the biopsy needle to the nidus. Microwave ablation was performed at 90 ℃ for 4 to 6 minutes. Prophylactic antibiotics were used two days postoperatively. Results Three patients were diagnosed as osteoid osteoma with the pathological confirmation after the operation, 5 cases were not diagnosed by the pathological confirmation. All the cases were followed up for 6 to 21 months. All the patients reported alleviated pain in the first 24 hours postoperation. One case with lesion in the right proximate femur retained mild pain without nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs 5 month after operation. The same procedure was done once more on this patient, and the outcome was good. No osteonecrosis of the femoral head and other complications were observed in all patients. Conclusion By CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for osteoid osteomas of hip reliably relieves pain with few complications and recurrences. The short-term efficacy is satisfactory. It is a safe and effective technique for treatment of osteoid osteoma.

Imaging assessment of osteoid osteoma / 中国基层医药

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of DR,SCT,MSCT and MRI in diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.Methods Nineteen cases of osteoid ostcoma proved by surgical pathology were collected,Among the 19 cases,all patients had DR and CT scanning,8 with MR imaging.All the DR image processing were performed to display the nidus.Ten patients were examined by SCT axial scanning and 9 cases were performed by MSCT using isotropic parameters,then multi-direction MPR were performed.The ability of DR,SCT,MSCT and MKI in demonstrating the nidus and the surrounding reaction were analyzed.Results Among 19 cases.only 6 cases showed nidus on DR before image processing and 12 showed nldus after image processing.All cases with CT scanning showed nidus.Among 8 cases with MRI.only 6 eases could be diagnosed correedy.The nldns could be ariarmed in only 4 cases.and the nidus was affirmed by comparing with DR or CT in 2 eases,the other 2 cases were misdiagnosis.Among 10 eases with SCT,only 6 cases showed calcification of nidus.Whereas among 9 cases with MSCT,8 cases showed calcification of nidus.There were also soft tissue and bone marrow edema around the nidus on MR imaging in all 8 cases.Conclusion Nidm is the key in diagnosing the osteoid osteoma correctly.DR is a basic checking method for osteoid osteoma.DR image processing con improve the display rates of nidus.CT scan is the best method to demonstrate the nidus.MSCT is better than SCT in demonstrating the nidus and the surrounding reaction.MRI can demonstrate the soft tissue and bone marrow edema around the nidus sensitively.but probably lead to an incorrect diagnosis.Combining with DR or CT.MRI can make an accurate diagnosis.

Intracortical Bone Metastasis Mimicking Intracortical Osteoid Osteoma: A Case Report

Cortical metastasis usually occurs in the diaphysis of the long bones with the appearance of a cookie-bite pattern; this is associated with cortical destruction extending into the soft tissue as well as into the medullary cavity, or there can be a periosteal reaction. We report here on a 66-year-old woman who was diagnosed with intracortical metastasis in the proximal metaphysis of the right femur as an initial metastatic focus from primary lung cancer. CT detected an intracortical osteolytic lesion without cortical destruction or thickening. The MR images showed extensive peritumoral edema in the surrounding soft tissue and adjacent bone marrow edema, and this all mimicked osteoid osteoma.

Imaging diagnosis of osteoid osteoma / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To analyze the X -ray, CT, and MR imaging findings in osteoid osteoma. Methods Forty-eight cases of osteoid osteoma proved by surgical pathology were collected, including 33 males and 15 females. Among the 48 cases, all patients had plane films, 32 were imaged with CT scanning, 10 with MR imaging, and 8 with all three techniques. The imaging findings of osteoid osteoma and the ability of X-ray, CT, and MRI in demonstrating the nidus and the surrounding reaction were analyzed. Results The imaging manifestations of osteoid osteoma revealed a circular or oval nidus with different bone sclerosis around the nidus. The diameters ranged from 0.4 cm to 1.7 cm, with the average of 9.7 cm. There were also soft tissue and bone morrow edema around the nidus or distinct effusion of joint on MR imaging in all 10 cases. Among 48 cases, only 37 cases showed nidus on plane film. All 32 cases with CT scanning showed nidus. The display ratios of nidus were 77% for X-ray and 100% for CT, respectively. 10 cases with MR imaging could be diagnosed correctly. But the nidus could be affirmed in only 8 cases, and the nidus was affirmed by comparing with plane film or CT in the other 2 cases. Conclusion Nidus is the key in diagnosing the osteoid osteoma correctly. Plane film is still an important checking method for osteoid osteoma. CT scan is the best method to demonstrate the nidus. MRI can demonstrate the soft tissue and bone morrow edema around the nidus sensitively, but probably lead to an incorrect diagnosis. Combining with X-ray or CT, MRI can make an accurate diagnosis.
