title: Osteoid osteoma as a cause of knee pain. A review of 10 cases.
abstract: Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor frequently situated around the knee. It should therefore be considered as a possible cause of atraumatic knee pain in young adults. The mean interval from onset of symptoms to diagnosis is 14 months. Clinical symptoms are the most reliable diagnostic factors. Block resection is the treatment of choice. A retrospective study of 10 patients is presented.
