Abstract

Osteoid osteoma is a rare benign primary bone forming tumor, usually affecting male children and adolescents.1 It accounts for only 3% of primary bone tumors.2 We present here the case of an 8-year-old child with osteoid osteoma who was misdiagnosed initially as having osteomyelitis and fracture of femur at the primary care level.
