Abstract

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a rare bone tumor with high prostaglandin expression that often presents in the second decade of life and is usually responsive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

Aim: We report an osteoid osteoma of the proximal humerus in a 52-year-old, an unusual location and in a patient who is older than most who get these tumors.

Case Report: A 52-year-old man comes to the outpatient orthopedics office with R shoulder pain. After receiving a corticosteroid injection without relief of symptoms, further imaging studies revealed an osteoid osteoma in the proximal humerus which was unresponsive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy. He underwent radiofrequency ablation of the lesion and was symptom free after the procedure.

Conclusion:Osteoid osteoma can appear in a wide variety of locations and in different age groups. Treatment with radiofrequency ablation is safe and effective.
