Summary.

A case is reported of a 16-year-old boy who presented with continuous pain in his right leg. Cortical thickening and diffuse medullary sclerosis was revealed on x-ray of the distal tibia. CT imaging showed a circumscribed annular pattern extending some 2.5 cm-s and indicating the multifocal nature of the lesion. The diagnosis of multifocal osteoid osteoma was confirmed after histological examination of the block of resected bone.

Résumé.

On présente le cas d’un enfant âgé de 16 ans qui présente une douleur continue de la jambe droite. L’examen radiographique montre un épaississement de la jambe droite et une sclérose médullaire diffuse du tibia au tiers distal. L’image CT montre un épaississement annulaire circonscrit présent sur différentes sections espacées de 2,5 cm et nous suggèrent la nature multifocale. La résection en bloc et l’examen histologique confirment le diagnostique d’ostéome ostéo%ide multifocal.
