Osteoid osteoma tumors of 12 and 16 year old children have been treated with Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) by experts from the Department of Radiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS Bilaspur).

This is the first such therapy done in Himachal Pradesh.

Experts at AIIMS Bilaspur say this treatment is the latest in image-guided minimally-invasive medical treatments at the Radiology Department of AIIMS Bilaspur.

Interventional radiologist Dr. Karmaveer Chandel told Diary Times correspondent Kumud Sharma that osteoid osteoma is a benign but painful bone tumor, which usually occurs in children and young adults. Doctors at AIIMS Bilaspur have successfully treated two children aged 12 and 16 years with RFA. Our entire team is happy with the success achieved in the treatment of children.

The children treated were very active before the onset of the tumor, but both were unable to enjoy their favorite activities because of the pain caused by the tumor.

Osteoid osteoma was previously treated with orthopedic surgery, which involved removing the tumor from the bone or removing the affected part of the bone.

The most commonly used treatment today is CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This is a less invasive method. RFA uses radiofrequency wave energy to heat and destroy the targeted tumor. The precise and controlled method does not require any surgery.
