It is exceptional before 5 and after 30 years of age. It can be seen in any part of the skeleton. Presentation of the tumor may be intracortical, juxta-cortical or cancellous. In long bones, the tumor is frequently intracortical, and in the spine, it is usually located at the posterior elements. Osteoid osteomas having radiologic and clinical features other than classical presentation of osteoid osteoma are called atypical osteoid osteomas. Atypical osteoid osteomas are important because the diagnosis and treatment are often complicated in these cases. Misdiagnosis with prolonged impairment and sometimes overtreatment appears as a major problem concerning atypical osteoid osteomas. This paper gives brief general information about the classical presentation of osteoid osteoma, discusses the pathogenesis of the lesion and focuses on the clinical presentation, radiologic features and characteristics of atypical osteoid osteomas as well as their treatment modalities. © Springer-Verlag France 2013.en10.1007/s00590-013-1291-1info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAtypical Nidus; Intra-Articular Osteoid Osteoma; Multicentric Nidus; Osteoid OsteomaLeukocyte In 111; Medronate Technetium Tc 99m; Nonsteroid Antiinflammatory Agent; Salicylic Acid; Atypical Osteoid Osteomas; Bone Biopsy; Bone Resection; Bone Scintiscanning; Computer Assisted Tomography; Contrast Enhancement; Cortical Thickness (Bone); Differential Diagnosis; Fracture; Gait Disorder; Human; Leg Length Inequality; Long Bone; Malignant Transformation; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Osteoblastoma; Osteoid Osteoma; Osteosclerosis; Pain; Pathogenesis; Priority Journal; Radiofrequency Ablation; Review; Ultrasound Therapy; Age; Bone Neoplasms; Fractures, Spontaneous; Joint; Musculoskeletal Pain; Osteoma, Osteoid; Pathology; Radiography; Age Factors; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal; Bone Neoplasms; Fractures, Spontaneous; Humans; Joints; Musculoskeletal Pain; Osteoma, OsteoidReview Article25117272-s2.0-8492756489023975583Q1
