Abstract
Benign bone-forming tumors are common in children. Careful radiographi c imaging is necessary to plan surgical treatment. Careful histologic study is necessary to distinguish osteoblastoma from more aggressive t umors. Osteoid osteoma should be considered when the child or adolesce nt presents with pain in an extremity or along the spine.
