title: Unusual presentation of osteoid osteoma of the scaphoid.
abstract: The small carpal bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteomas, and their clinical and imaging pictures may be quite confusing leading to suspect other etiologies. The authors present herein an unusual case of osteoid osteoma of the scaphoid superimposed on a wrist injury caused by a fall on the outstretched hand.
