| مستخلص: |
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that rarely occurs in the bones of the hand. Due to the comparatively non-specific symptoms when occurring in the hand, OO is often misdiagnosed at first presentation, posing a diagnostic challenge. In the present case study, six cases of phalangeal and carpal OO, treated surgically at our department between 2006 and 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. We compared all cases regarding demographic data, clinical presentation, imaging findings, time to diagnosis, surgical treatment, and clinical outcome in follow-up examinations. When OO occurs in the bones of the hand, it can lead to swelling and deformities, such as enlargement of the affected bone and nail hypertrophy. Initial misdiagnoses such as primary bone tumors other than OO, tendinitis, osteomyelitis, or arthritis are common. Most of the presented cases showed a prolonged time until diagnosis, whereby the primarily performed imaging modality was often not sensitive. CT proved to be the most sensitive sectional imaging modality for diagnosing OO. With adequate surgical treatment, complications and recurrence are rare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
