title: Osteoid osteoma of the hamate bone. Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Osteoid osteoma is rarely located in the hamate. Only five similar cases have appeared in the international literature, and none have appeared in the Spanish literature. In a 15-year-old girl, the lesion was excised en bloc, and the defect was filled with a bone graft. Two and one-half years after the operation the patient was asymptomatic with normal mobility of the affected wrist.
