Osteoid osteoma of the vertebral body. A case report
Abstract
The authors describe a case of osteoid osteoma localised in the body of a lumbar vertebra. This rare localisation--the tenth case described in the literature--and its associated drug-dependency and serum positivity for HTL3 justify its addition to the literature. In addition to an accurate history, the diagnosis requires scintigraphy with Tc 99 and CT scan. The latter is needed so that a correct surgical approach may be planned.
