Abstract
A case of osteoid osteoma of the scaphoid documented by polytomograms and CT scan is presented. The case presented as chronic pain. At operation, multiple pathological fractures with auricular surface destruction was noted. Due to the size of the osteoid osteoma and pathology present, the neoplasm was treated by scaphoid excision. A capsular interpositional arthroplasty and mid carpal arthrodesis with radial bone graft was also performed. Prior to surgery, the patient was treated with a 48 hour course of tetracycline to enhance fluorescence of the tumor under Wood’s lamp.
