Abstract
Osteoid osteoma is a benign, neoplastic lesion, characterized by a less-than-2-cm pea-like mass of abnormal bone, the nidus. Traditional treatments have involved either conservative management with pain control or operative excision of the nidus. Today, radio-frequency ablation (RFA) is being used more commonly for the treatment of osteoid osteomas. There have been numerous studies showing the effectiveness of RFA. Complications of the procedure are rare but have been reported. We report a patient with a full-thickness cutaneous burn after RFA of a tibial osteoid osteoma.
