Overview
abstract
In a patient with symptoms suggestive of osteoid osteoma of the carpal scaphoid, 18-F scintimetry supported the diagnosis in the absence of clear cut roentgenographic signs. High concentration of 18-F in the area of the lesion allowed direct surgical approach and extirpation. The diagnosis was proven by histology.
