Background: osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor, has no potential for growth, its size does not exceed 1.5 cm while sclerosis that surrounds it gives a greater aspect. Objective: to show the therapeutic possibilities in the face of an osteoid osteoma. Case report: an 18-year-old patient presented with pain in the left ankle was diagnosed with osteoid osteoma of tibia, the patient required surgical treatment. Conclusions: when the tumoral lesion is based on the cortex of a long bone, is preferred resection by slicing the sclerotic bone to expose the nest of osteoid osteoma, and then bone curettage.
