We report a case of osteoid osteoma in the tibial region in a 23 year old male,whose interest resides in its clinical appearance following a long period without pain and havingdeveloped in the same location of a closed tibial fracture that occured some 4 years ago. Thediagnosis was performed in addition to the night-time pain experienced, by means of conventionalRadiographic study, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic. Its confirmation was carriedout by pathological study. Treatment consisted in surgical exeresis of the tumour. Paindisappeared, after exeresis, not existing tumour ral tissue after one year follow-up. Althoughnumerous publications have been made concerning the osteoide osteoma, it seems interestingto publish this particular case, because of the rarity of its occurrence in the same location ofthe callus of a fracture.
