title: Osteoid osteoma of the radial styloid mimicking de quervain tenosynovitis.
abstract: A very unusual location of osteoid osteoma arising in the radial styloid is presented, which strongly mimicked de Quervain tenosynovitis, thereby resulting in the patient undergoing an additional unnecessary operation and a substantial delay of more than 2 years in diagnosis.
