The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of partial nidus excision using a bone marrow biopsy needle as a minimally invasive technique for management of atypical cancellous osteoid osteomas. <br /> <b>Material and Method </b>: Partial excision of the nidus was performed in four cases using an 11-G bone marrow biopsy needle under fluoroscopic guidance. The lesions were located in the capital femoral epiphysis, the posterosuperior side of the femoral neck, the distal tibial epiphysis and the olecranon process of the ulna. <br /> <b>Results: </b> The patient’s pain resolved the night following excision of the nidus. No recurrence was observed at the 72, 36, 32 and 24 month follow-ups. <br /> <b>Conclusion: </b> Partial excision of the nidus may be considered a remarkable technique especially in the treatment of atypical cancellous osteoid osteoma, where surgical intervention is challenging.}, number={4}, publisher={MEDİTAGEM Ltd.
