title: [Osteoid osteoma on the floor of the acetabulum: pitfalls of diagnosis and therapy.].
abstract: The authors present the case of a rare localization of an osteoid osteoma on the floor of the acetabulum and describe the pitfalls of diagnosis and treatment of this benign tumour. On the case-history of an 11-year-old patient they demonstrate that it is correct to use radical surgery of this tumour in a rare localization. In the world literature so far only eight cases of osteoid osteoma in the area of the acetabulum are described. All authors agree that radical surgery is indicated. Key words: osteoid osteoma.
