Osteoid osteoma of the radial styloid mimicking de quervain tenosynovitis

South Med J. 2007 Oct;100(10):1045-7. doi: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181514ad5.

Abstract

A very unusual location of osteoid osteoma arising in the radial styloid is presented, which strongly mimicked de Quervain tenosynovitis, thereby resulting in the patient undergoing an additional unnecessary operation and a substantial delay of more than 2 years in diagnosis.
