We report our experience in the computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of more than 100 benign bone tumors in the last eight years. We affirm that this should be the technique of choice in the vast majority of osteoid osteomas; it can also be applied as a definitive treatment in many cases of osteoblastomas or chondroblastomas as well as in less common benign bone tumors. CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation has proven highly efficacious and has resulted in very few complications; thus, patients tend to recover very quickly.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010017 Osteoma, Osteoid A benign osteoblastic tumor with central vascularized nidus surrounded by normal reactive bone. It occurs especially in second decade of life most commonly in the femoral neck but can occur in any bone and any site within a bone. Osteoid Osteoma,Osteoid Osteomas,Osteomas, Osteoid
D001859 Bone Neoplasms Tumors or cancer located in bone tissue or specific BONES. Bone Cancer,Cancer of Bone,Cancer of the Bone,Neoplasms, Bone,Bone Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Bone
D002804 Chondroblastoma A usually benign tumor composed of cells which arise from chondroblasts or their precursors and which tend to differentiate into cartilage cells. It occurs primarily in the epiphyses of adolescents. It is relatively rare and represents less than 2% of all primary bone tumors. The peak incidence is in the second decade of life; it is about twice as common in males as in females. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1846) Chondroblastomas
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.

D018215 Osteoblastoma A benign, painful, tumor of bone characterized by the formation of osteoid tissue, primitive bone and calcified tissue. It occurs frequently in the spine of young persons.
