Detection of an Elusive Osteoid Osteoma Using a Registration Bone ScanFrom the Peripheral Nerve Injury and Hand Unit, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and the Division of Radiological Sciences, Guys Hospital, London, UK Correspondence: D. M. Evans FRCS, The Hand Clinic, Oakley Green, Windsor SL2 3SW, UK. A case of osteoid osteoma in a young man is presented which evaded diagnosis for 9 years, and was eventually localized to the palmar aspect of the third carpometacarpal joint using the technique of registration bone scan to provide accurate localization. The lesion was removed with complete relief of pain.
