title: Osteoid osteoma in unusual locations: detection and diagnosis.
abstract: We have reported two unusual cases of osteoid osteoma in small bones of the hand and foot. The roentgenographic appearance of a radiolucent area with a sclerotic rim in these regions and in the proper clinical setting must raise the possibility of osteoid osteoma. Computerized tomography can accurately demonstrate the highly vascular nidus.
