Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a relatively common, benign bone-forming tumour, which mainly occurs on the long tubular bones of the limbs in adolescents. Usually, the OO is classified based on its localisation. Night-time pain is the major symptom of OO, which is commonly relieved using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, while surgery is required only for those patients with severe pain or in case of failure of previous conservative treatments. Our case report describes a 56-year-old male basketball player who self-referred to our outpatient physical therapy with a shoulder pain complaint. Considering the anamnesis and the physical examination, the physical therapist referred the patient to an orthopaedic surgeon, who suggested a detailed imaging investigation. The peculiarity of this clinical case is the overlapping of two clinical presentations: the symptomatology of the OO and the concurrent mechanical disorder due to a rotator cuff tendinopathy.
骨样骨瘤（OO）是一种相对常见的良性成骨肿瘤，主要发生在青少年四肢的长管状骨上。通常，OO 根据其位置进行分类。夜间疼痛是 OO 的主要症状，通常使用非甾体抗炎药缓解，而仅对那些疼痛严重或先前保守治疗失败的患者需要手术。我们的病例报告描述了一位 56 岁的男性篮球运动员，他因肩部疼痛到我们的门诊理疗科就诊。根据病史和体检，理疗师将患者转介给骨科医生，后者建议进行详细的影像学检查。这个临床病例的特点是两种临床表现的重叠：OO 的症状和由于肩袖肌腱病引起的并发机械障碍。
