Tongue osteoma is a rare disease. Clinically, it occurs mainly in the posterior part of the tongue and may cause foreign body sensation, but most of it is found incidentally without any symptom. Clear mechanisms of development have not yet been established, but many hypotheses have been proposed. Treatment is possible with surgical resection and no recurrence or malignancy has been reported. We experienced a 29 year old man with osteoma of tongue. We report this case with a review of literature.

A 12-year-old female was referred from a dental clinic due to a radiolucent area under the lower right first and second premolars. The lesion was diagnosed as a simple bone cyst radiographically. However, she complained lasting pain during 10 month follow up. Therefore curettage was performed and it defined as an osteoid osteoma on the histopathologic examination. As the lesion recurred, one year later, enucleation was performed. We report this case to help the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in mandible.

The authers observed a multiple miliary osteoma which was found in the 70-year-old male patient at routine dental examination and obtained the following features; 1. The osteomas are situated in the buccal cheeks of both side, but overlying skin shows normal. 2. The small osteomas range from 2.0㎜ to 2.0㎜ in diameter. 3. The osteomas appeared in proximity to the surface at a special radiograph which made with the tube directed parallel to the surface of the face when the cheek is being blown outwardly. 4. Each osteoma appears as a small doughnut shaped shadow with a radiolucent center.

Osteomas of the external auditory canal are considered clinically to be discrete, pedunculated bone lesions arising along the tympanosquamous suture. They are benign lesions but often are slowly progressive growth in size which eventually resulted in obstruction of the external auditory canal when this occurs the patient will complain of deafness. Exostoses, similar to the osteoma, are broad based elevations of bone usually multiple and bilaterally symmetric, involving the tympanic bone. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of osteoma of the external auditory canal, and so report with some reviews of the literatures.

Delay in diagnosis is possible in bone tumor located in the foot because it is rare. We experienced one case of osteoid osteoma located at the navicular bone of the foot which was slowly progressive and complicated with calcaneocuboidal joint, talonavicular joint arthritis. Osteoid osteoma of the navicular bone in the foot is rare. It bring about unwanted delay in diagnosis, complication. It is necessary to diagnose and treat in early situation to prevent complication and unnecessary operation.

We report the radio-frequency ablation technique applied on an osteoid osteoma under CT guide and review other new methods of treatment for the osteoid osteoma. An 18-year-old boy with an osteoid osteoma at the left proximal tibia, which was visible at plain film and MRI. He was treated by the percutaneous radio-frequency ablation technique under CT guide after a needle biopsy. He is free from any symptom and able to do daily activities. So, we proposed that the percutaneous radio-frequency ablation technique under CT guide is the effective and safe treatment method for an osteoid osteoma.

The typical radiologic findings of a small radiolucent nidus with surrounding sclerosis and night pain responding to aspirin make the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma not too difficult. We report a case of multicentric osteoid osteoma with unusual clinical and imaging features which were strongly suggestive of subacute sclerosing osteomyelitis.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor composed of osteoid and atypical bone, with a loose, highly vascular fibrous marrow. The tumor has been reported in most of the bones of the body, but it is infrequently localized to the hand. The scaphoid is the carpal bone involved most frequently. Typically the lesions are painful and respond to aspirin. Roentgenologic finding of the central area of lucency surrounded by sclerotic bone often is diagnostic. Block excision with bone grafting is an acceptable method of treatment. We report a case of osteoid osteoma in scaphoid with a review of the literature.

Osteoma is defined as a benign neoplasm of bony tissue. Osteomas are divided into two groups: central and peripheral by origin, compact and cancellous by histopathologic findings. Solitary osteoma of jaw bone, not related with Gardner syndrom, is relatively uncommon. We present two cases of huge solitary peripheral osteomas: compact type exophyting osteoma on the inferolingual side of mandibular angle and cancellous type on the residual ridge of posterior maxilla, which is extremely rare.

A 2 year-old, 3.8 kg, intact female Maltese was presented with unilateral pain and reddish discharge from the left ear caused by a polyp in the horizontal ear canal. The polyp was diagnosed as osteoma histopathologically and removed through total ear canal ablation. Three months after surgery, osteoma was recurred and broken out of edematous skin lesion. It was considered that an inappropriate surgical removal of the tissue which attached base boarder of the polyp would be cause of the recurrence of the osteoma.
