    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the mid-term outcome following CT-guided percutaneous resection of osteoid osteoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 38 patients who had been treated by CT-guided percutaneous resection were included. The mean follow-up of 3.7 years. Early and mid-term outcome and histology were analyzed. RESULTS: Histological samples were adequate in 92% of cases and a diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was confirmed in 73.7% of cases. In 6 cases, the lesion was not an osteoid osteoma: 2 mucoid cysts, 1 benign fibrous dysplasia, 1 fibromucoid lesion, 1 focal osteochondritis, 1 osteomyelitis. Cure was achieved in 84.2% of patients. Minor transient complications occurred in 23.7% of cases. The most serious complications included: 1 intramuscular hematoma, 2 femoral fractures, and 1 case of S. aureus osteomyelitis. CONCLUSION: This study confirms that CT-guided percutaneous resection of osteoid osteomas is effective and shows that other small lesions can also be treated using this technique.
