| Summary: | We report a case of an osteoid osteoma at the scapular glenoid that was treated with cryoablation. The patient presented with shoulder pain with subsequent CT and MRI imaging findings suspicious for an osteoid osteoma. The patient complained of persistent pain despite medical treatment and was referred to interventional radiology for consideration of ablation. CT-guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma and the patient underwent cryoablation of the lesion in the same session. The patient reported a substantial relief in her pain at a follow-up 4 weeks after the procedure. MRI performed 8 weeks after the procedure also confirmed radiographic remission of the lesion. |
