  • Title: Painless osteoid osteoma of the finger in a child. Case report.
    Author: De Smet L, Spaepen D, Zachee B, Fabry G.
    Journal: Chir Main; 1998; 17(2):143-6. PubMed ID: 10855280.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of an 8-year-old child presenting with painless swelling of the middle phalanx of the ring finger. Radiology demonstrated simple hypertrophy of cortical bone with a clear zone. Bone biopsy showed the typical features of osteoid osteoma. Osteoid osteoma is rarely painless and generally corresponds to a superficial tumour (hand, foot, skull and thorax).
