Özet
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor consisting of an osteoblastic mass called nidus surrounded by a sclerotic bone. This disease most commonly affects children and young adults, but only 3–8% of cases are under the age of 5. In our article, we aimed to present the follow-up and treatment of intramedullary osteoid osteoma in a 12-month-old girl, which is very rare due to her age and location. A 12-month-old girl patient, who had complaints of uncontrollable crying, not gaining weight, and restlessness, especially at night since she was 8 months old consulted after seeing a swelling in the left cruris. When the nidus was seen with the CT images and the diagnosis was clarified, the parents were informed, and surgical preparation was started. A 2 × 1 cm elliptical bone window was opened, and the red-colored tissue thought to be nidus tissue was removed and sent for histopathological examination. The diagnosis of intramedullary osteoid osteoma was confirmed histopathologically. Only 3–5% of osteoid osteomas occur under 5 years of age. Osteoid osteomas, which appear under 1 year of age, are less common. Classical symptoms may not be seen in osteoid osteomas seen in infants and diagnosis may be challenging. Osteoid osteoma should be kept in mind in the diagnosis of these patients who may present with atypical symptoms in this age group.
