  • Title: [Osteoid osteoma of the lower end of the femur--a diagnostic problem].
    Author: van Linthoudt D, Vernet O, Pazera A, Ott H.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1989 May 23; 78(21):620-4. PubMed ID: 2662330.
    Abstract:
    Joint symptoms may be the first manifestations of juxta-articular osteoid osteoma; therefore, diagnosis may be difficult. We report the case of a young athlete who presented an osteoid osteoma of the distal part of the femur. Correct diagnosis was delayed by the presence of a pathological mid-patellar plica synovialis and the absence of modifications on standard X-rays.
