Abstract
Osteoid osteomas consist of a nidus with surrounding sclerotic bone. The differential diagnosis covers a wide range of conditions due to the variable presentation of osteoid osteoma. The natural history is for regression to occur within 6 to 15 years with no treatment; however, this can be reduced to 2 to 3 years with the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous techniques, including trephine excision, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and laser thermocoagulation, are described.
