Vascular complications of osteochondroma are uncommon. We report a case of popliteal vein obstruction by an osteochondroma, arising from the proximal tibia, in which the diagnosis was initially missed. The pathogenesis and management of these complications are discussed.

This article investigates the clinical and radiological features of four cases of osteochondroma-related bony pressure erosion in adults. Rare imaging features of extrinsic pressure erosions on adjacent bones caused by solitary and familial forms of osteochondroma are presented. Although described to occur uncommonly in the paired bones of the lower leg, pressure erosion in the pelvic girdle is...

Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. However, intracranial osteochondroma is very rare, which usually arises from the skull base. Origination from the dura and falx occurs only in sporadical cases. To our knowledge, only twelve cases have been reported in English literature. We report a case of giant osteochondroma from the falx cerebri causing external compression on the brain....

INTRODUCTION Osteochondroma are benign neoplasms which arise from small cartilage nodules within the periosteum. They can be either pedunculated or sessile and are more common in the extremities. They rarely develop in bones like scapula, feet, hands and pelvis. Management of the lesion is by en-bloc excision. CASE REPORT We present a case of 18 year female, who came with a swelling in right ...

Osteochondromas represent the most common primary bone tumours; they reportedly represent 20-50% of all benign bone tumours and 10-15% of all bone tumours. Malignant transformation is their most severe complication. However, deformities and interference with major joint function are the most frequent complaints in patients with hereditary multiple osteochondroma. Treatment should therefore aim ...

Osteochondromas found within the soft tissue without osseous or intra-articular involvement are better described as extraskeletal osteochondromas. They are slow-growing, benign, osseous tumors, and are often misdiagnosed as conventional osteochondromas. Though extraskeletal osteochondromas are rare, they typically affect the digits of the hands or feet. We present a patient with a giant symptom...

We report a unique case of symptomatic chondrosarcoma of the medial end of the clavicle resulting in pain and Horner’s syndrome. To our knowledge this is the first reported case in the literature of Horner’s syndrome secondary to a clavicular tumour. Osteochondroma, a frequent benign tumour of the bone, is in many cases asymptomatic. The reported risk of malignant transformation in a solitary o...

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors which are mostly seen in the metaphysis of distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus. As arising from flat bones such as scapula is a rare case, intra-articular osteochondroma is also rare. When the literature is searched it appeared that the scapula and shoulder joint are an uncommon site for osteochondroma. We present a case in w...

Both giant synovial osteochondroma and parosteal osteosarcoma are rare musculo-skeletal tumors, often localized in the vicinity of the knee. Misdiagnosis of a malignant bone tumor can entail fatal consequences. Etiology of giant synovial osteochondroma is widely unsolved but is believed to originate from synovial chondromatosis, a mostly benign metaplasia of the synovial membrane. Parosteal ost...
