Abstract

|
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor composed of osteoid and atypical bone. The most common site of this tumor is long tubular bone, especially femur and tibia. Osteoid osteoma occurring in the foot is unusual. Rare cases were reported in the literature in the metatarsal bones. In this article, we report case of the osteoid osteoma in the 3rd metatarsal bone. A 14-year-old male patient presented with a painful swelling in the dorsal aspect of left forefoot. Preoperative radiography and computed tomography demonstrated a protruded bone lesion arising in the left 3rd metatarsal bone. Resection of the bone tumor was done without any complications. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.
