Benign osteoid-producing bone lesions: update on imaging and treatment

Semin Musculoskelet Radiol. 2013 Apr;17(2):116-22. doi: 10.1055/s-0033-1342968. Epub 2013 May 14.

Abstract

Benign osteoid-producing osseous tumors are frequently encountered in a typical musculoskeletal radiology practice. Enostoses are extremely common, but osteomas, osteoid osteomas, and osteoblastomas are diagnosed less often. A thorough discussion of the typical clinical presentation, histology, imaging findings, treatment and prognosis for each tumor is provided, with particular emphasis on more current imaging techniques and treatments.
