title: [Percutaneous, CT-guided excision of femoral osteoid osteoma].
abstract: An osteoid osteoma in the distal femur of a 10-year-old girl was excised, percutaneously, under CT guidance. Location of the nidus was by insertion of a Kirshner wire under CT control. Hollow Mill was used to excise the nidus by drilling over the Kirshner wire, with CT guidance during each stage. There were no complications and pain ceased overnight. Follow-up after 4 months showed complete recovery and no pain.
