Figure <strong>47</strong>-119. Osteoid osteoma in a 19-year-old with symptoms clinically thought to be due to a tibial stress fracture. A, Axial CT scan through the<br />

level <strong>of</strong> the syndesmosis. The nidus is the small lucent lesion (black circle). B, Axial T1-weighted image through same level as A. The low-intensity<br />

nidus (white circle) is masked by the surrounding marrow edema. C, Corresponding T2-weighted fat-suppressed image. The low-intensity nidus<br />

(white circle) is unmasked by the bright signal <strong>of</strong> the surrounding marrow edema. D, Sagittal inversion recovery (IR) image reveals bone marrow<br />

edema around the small nidus (white circle).<br />

Figure <strong>47</strong>-120. Chondroblastoma in a 16-year-old.<br />

A, Lateral radiograph demonstrates an expansile mass<br />

arising from the back <strong>of</strong> the tibia. B, Midsagittal T1-<br />

weighted image shows that the mass is purely<br />

epiphyseal, deforming but not crossing the distal<br />

physis in this patient who is not yet skeletally mature.<br />

C, Corresponding sagittal T2-weighted image shows<br />

heterogeneous bright signal in the mass. There is also<br />

edema in the adjacent s<strong>of</strong>t tissues (arrows), a common<br />

finding with chondroblastomas. D, Corresponding<br />

sagittal cartilage-sensitive sequence (fat-suppressed<br />

three-dimensional gradient echo) reveals signal<br />

intensity in this cartilaginous tumor that is nearly as<br />

bright as the nearby normal articular hyaline cartilage.<br />
