Characteristics of osteoid osteoma
(kinds, imaging char, patients, ddx)
Cortical (70-80%): long bones, lucent, dense surr sclerosis
Cancellous (25%): intramedullary, fem. neck, post. elements, tubular bones, less sclerosis, can be subarticular
Subperiosteal (rare): juxtacort., ST mass eroding cortex, little sclerosis

Age 10-35 years, M:F = 2-3:1
Nocturnal pain

MR - lots of BM edema
Angio- dense blush

Ddx- DDx : Brodie abscess, stress fx, enostosis
Enchondroma
Lytic, <3cm centric metadiaph lesion w chondroid matrix

MRI: foci of signal void (Ca2+), ↑T2 , no sig. enhance

60% tubular bones, 25-45% long bones (malig. degen. in 15-20%), NOT skull (not formed by enchondral ossif.)

Age 15-40, M:F = 1:1
Pain without fracture  consider malignancy

DDx: bone infarct (serpentine border, more sclerotic, no endosteal scalloping), chondrosarc., juxtacortical chondroma, epidermoid inclusion cyst, UBC, FD
Glomus Tumor
Hamartoma - elements of neuromyoarterial apparatus

4th-5th decade
Soft tissues: tips of digits, subungual; rarely in bone

Pain :
--Love test: precise localiz of pain w/ pencil tip
--Hildreth test: pain resolves w proximal arm tourniquet

MRI: ↑T2 SI, enhancement

DDx: epidermoid inclusion cyst, enchondroma, chronic osteomyelitis, sarcoid, met, osteoid osteoma, subungual melanoma
Cortical Desmoid
Periosteal new bone + subperiosteal cortical defect along posteromedial & superior aspect MFC (medial ridge of linea aspera) at attachment of adductor magnus aponeurosis
