Osteoid osteoma appearing after bony fracture in a girl with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Skeletal Radiology 2024 April 23
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common, benign bone tumor. However, there are no case reports of OO associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), or pathological fractures in OO. A 3-year-old girl with OI sustained a complete right tibial diaphyseal fracture. Bony fusion was completed after 4 months of conservative therapy; nevertheless, 18 months later spontaneous pain appeared at the fracture site, without any cause. Plain radiographs showed a newly apparent, rounded area of translucency 1 cm in diameter, just overlapping the previous fracture. Images obtained using three-dimensional time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography showed strong central enhancement in the early phase, with an apparent nidus, suggesting the diagnosis of OO. Nineteen months after the first fracture, while skipping, the patient refractured her tibial diaphysis at the site of the previous fracture. This is a very rare case of OO, apparently co-existing with OI and leading to a bony fracture. In our case, the combination of bone fragility in OI and a recent fracture at the site of the OO may have caused the re-fracture.
