RESUMO
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is characterized by displacement of the capital femoral epiphysis from the metaphysis through the physis. The term is confusing, because the metaphysis moves upward and outward while the epiphysis remains in the acetabulum. The SCFE is considered stable when the child is able to walk with or without crutches, and it is considered unstable when the child cannot walk with or without crutches. Patients with SCFE present with pain in the groin, knee and limp. The current treatment of stable SCFE is in situ stabilization with a single screw.

A case is reported of a 16-year-old boy who presented with continuous pain in his right leg. Cortical thickening and diffuse medullary sclerosis was revealed on x-ray of the distal tibia. CT imaging showed a circumscribed annular pattern extending some 2.5 cm-s and indicating the multifocal nature of the lesion. The diagnosis of multifocal osteoid osteoma was confirmed after histological examination of the block of resected bone.
