The case of a patient with osteoid osteoma of the heel is presented. The patient was misdiagnosed and treated for four years as having arthritis. Osteoid osteoma was diagnosed by 99mTc-MDP bone scan that was performed for the evaluation of the arthritis. Plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were negative for signs of arthritis. However, MRI when reevaluated after positive bone scintigraphy, was found positive for osteoid osteoma. This case underscores the value of bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.
本文介绍了一例足跟骨样骨瘤患者的病例。该患者被误诊为关节炎并接受了四年的治疗。通过对关节炎进行评估的99mTc-MDP骨扫描诊断出骨样骨瘤。X线平片和磁共振成像(MRI)未发现关节炎迹象。然而,在骨闪烁显像呈阳性后重新评估时,MRI显示骨样骨瘤呈阳性。该病例强调了骨闪烁显像在骨样骨瘤诊断中的价值。
