Osteoid osteomas are one of the most common bone tumors. Although benign in nature, they can cause significant pain and distress to the afflicted patient. The main goal of treatment is to relieve pain. Historically, these tumors were treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or surgery. Percutaneous ablative techniques have since gained popularity because of their efficacy and low risk profiles. Radiofrequency ablation was the first of these technologies used in the treatment of these tumors. More recently, microwave ablation has gained popularity. However, the literature is sparse regarding the safety and efficacy of this treatment. Here, we discuss our experience with microwave ablation in the treatment of osteoid osteomas in two patients and review the current literature on this technique. Microwave ablation in the treatment of osteoid osteoma seems to be a safe and effective treatment for this tumor.
骨样骨瘤是最常见的骨肿瘤之一。尽管性质为良性，但它们会给患者带来严重的疼痛和不适。治疗的主要目标是缓解疼痛。历史上，这些肿瘤曾用非甾体抗炎药（NSAIDs）或手术治疗。由于疗效好、风险低，经皮消融技术逐渐流行起来。射频消融是最早用于治疗此类肿瘤的技术之一。最近，微波消融也越来越受欢迎。然而，关于这种治疗方法的安全性和疗效的文献还很少。在这里，我们讨论了我们在两名患者中使用微波消融治疗骨样骨瘤的经验，并回顾了该技术的现有文献。微波消融治疗骨样骨瘤似乎是治疗这种肿瘤的一种安全有效的方法。
