Abstract
Since the presentation of Osteoid Osteoma as an entity by Jaffe (1935) and the report on 62 cases by the same author (Jaffe, 1945), it has been found in almost all bones. However, it seems according to the review of the cases reported in the literature that the location of the lesion in flat bones is far less common than in the long and short tubular bones or in the short spongy bones. The first case in a flat bone (innominate) was reported by Lewis (1944) and another case was seen by Jaffe (1945). The number of cases reported since then in flat bones is relatively small in comparison with that found in tubular or short spongy bones. Sherman (1947) reviewed 158 cases reported in the literature including 30 of her own. Out of these, three were located in the ilium, none in the scapula. Golding (1954) reviewed 198 cases reported in the literature, out of these 20 of his own. Only four were situated in the pelvic bones, one in the scapula. Flaherty, Pugh and Dockerty (1956) reported 52 cases, estimating the number of pathologically proved cases published at 300. In three of their cases the lesion was found in the ilium, in one in the scapula. As far as the present authors could ascertain no case has up till now been reported in the literature in a bone of the calvarium. For this reason the following case is presented.
