- Abstract
Patients with chronic diseases may sometimes be underestimated because of the relapsing nature of the disease and thus some newly developing phenomena may be overlooked. In this case we present a 12year old female patient who was followed up for juvenile idiopathic arthritis and applied to us as an exacerbation of the disease. After initiation of therapy all her complaints but the right knee improved. In the examination of knee, limitation in hip movements was detected. Xray of the hip revealed a mass neighboring the minor trochanter. On magnetic resonance imaging the mass was detected to be an osteoid osteoma. The patient is free of pain with conservative treatment for tumor after twelve months. It is important to evaluate the patient thoroughly without focusing on a single point and keep in mind that in especially skeletally immature patients hip pain can be felt in the knee.
