Abstract

We describe a case of intra-articular osteoid osteoma arising in the radial styloid of a 21-year-old man. Plain radiographs were not diagnostic, but computed tomography, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scintigraphy suggested the possibility of an osteoid osteoma. We arthroscopically removed the lesion; histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient's symptoms disappeared immediately after surgery.
