title: Osteoid osteoma of the radial styloid mimicking wrist arthritis: a case study.
abstract: Osteoid osteoma in the wrist and hand region is an uncommon but severely symptomatic primary bone tumour. We report the case of a professional athlete with a radial styloid osteoid osteoma who presented with significant wrist pain and stiffness resembling arthritis for which she was treated initially. The symptoms started after a fall on the outstretched hand and significant delay in the diagnosis occurred. Following detailed imaging evaluation of the tumour site excision biopsy was curative.
