Although Osteoid osteoma has occurred in every bone of the body, it is rarely found at the elbow and in younger children than 5 years old. In 2 years old child, diagnosis can be delayed because of nonspecific clinical, radiological features and making it difficult for the child to communicate with physician. We report a case of osteoid osteoma of the distal humeral metaphysis with intracapsular nidus and synovitis of elbow in 2 years old girl who was treated by a surgical excision.
