Summary

We have exammed the organic components of the nidus of an osteoid osteoma in 4 patients using scanning electron microscopy. Different organisation of the osteoblastic cells and of the fibrous structures of the osteoid matrix in different zones was demonstrated. These findings indicated a greater degree of immaturity in the centre, as compared with the peripheral area where the process of differentiation was more evident.

Résumé

Les auteurs ont examiné par microscopie électronique à balayage les composants organiques du nidus dans quatre cas d'ostéome ostéoïde. L'analyse des résultats montre des zones différentes en ce qui concerne l'organisation des ostéoblastes et des structures fibreuses de la matrice ostéoïde. Dans la zone centrale on note un plus haut degré d'immaturité tandis que dans la zone périlésionnelle le processus de différenciation est plus évident (ostéoblaste — préostéocyte — ostéocyte).
