Abstract:
Since Jaffe first described osteoid osteoma in 1935, it has become a well recognized clinical and pathological entity. The clinical picture is characteristic, the roentgenographic features are usually distinctive, and the pathological findings are unmistakable. Osteoid osteoma is curable by surgical excision. Often, however, a presumtive diagnosis and roentgenographic features, but surgical exploration fails to uncover the nidus. We reported a case of typical pathological specimen, roentgenographic picture and unusual clinical records with long duration and marked muscle atrophy which was hardly differentiated from herniated intervertebral disc or other spinal cord lesions.
