Abstract

Osteoid osteomas are benign skeletal tumors; more than half of the lesions occur in lower extremity long bones, with very few cases reported in metacarpal bones. We presented the case of a patient at the plastic surgery department of a regional hospital, who presented with a tender tumor in the left hand over the past 2 years.
