Abstract Osteoid osteoma is an uncommon benign tumor of bone that rarely involves the cranium. It often causes local pain that is worse at night, characteristically relieved by aspirin, and does not correlate with the size of the lesion. The diagnosis depends on skull radiographs and computed tomography. This report describes a case in which radiographs showed nothing abnormal. The diagnosis and operative localization were accomplished with radionuclide bone scanning. Thus, the possibility of radiographically cryptic lesions must be considered in the evaluation of atypical head pain syndromes.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor that accounts for roughly 10-12% of all benign bone forming tumors. This tumor generally occurs within the first three decades of life and occurs more commonly in males. This lesion is painful and is generally worse at night and has relief of symptoms with the use of NSAIDs. Osteoid osteoma is characterized by the production of osteoid surrounded by a rim of sclerotic bone. These lesions most commonly occur in long bones such as the proximal femur, however they can occur anywhere. Rarely, as with our patient, have these lesions been reported in the acetabulum.

The authors review various pedal conditions affecting the rearfoot, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pathology, fractures, arthritides, coalitions, and tumors. Various diagnostic imaging modalities such as routine radiography, radionuclide bone scanning, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) usually occurs in the extremities of young adults. The tumor can arise in any part of the skeletal tissue; however, it is rarely found in the rib, with limited reports to date. In this report, we present a rare case of OO arising in the rib, which was successfully treated under computed tomography guidance with minimal invasiveness. At the final follow-up after 4 years, no local recurrence was observed.
