Painless osteoid osteoma of the middle phalanx

C Rex et al. J Hand Surg Br. 1997 Dec.

Abstract

A 12-year-old girl with a painless swollen finger was a clinical puzzle as her presentation and X-rays were not typical of osteoid osteoma. Computed tomography and histology confirmed the diagnosis. This case is reported for its atypical presentation, difficulty in diagnosis and rare occurrence in the middle phalanx.
