Abstract
BENIGN OSTEOGENIC TUMORS Osteoid-Osteoma. —Hamilton1 reviews the literature and the clinical picture and points out that sclerosis may obscure the nidus on roentgenologic examination unless overexposure and several views are employed. He further brings out that more sclerosis occurs when the lesion is in the cortex than when it is in the medulla. In differential diagnosis, osteoid-osteoma may be distinguished from Garré's osteomyelitis, Brodie's abscess, osteogenic sarcoma or Ewing's tumor. Hamilton reports 5 cases; in 2 the lesion occurred in the tibia, and in 1 each it occurred in the humerus, the talus and the second cervical vertebra. Ed.

Men are affected twice
