Osteochondroma of the cervical spine is rare. This is a report of an affected 9-year-old boy with no known familial predisposition for osteochondromas. Imaging revealed a sessile osteochondroma arising from the spinous process and a portion of the left lamina of the seventh cervical vertebrae. The patient was successfully treated with an en-bloc excision of the tumor. Histopathology confirmed t...

Although osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor, the lumbar spine is anuncommon localization for solitary osteochondroma. Solitary lumbar osteochondromas rarely affect the neurological structures, because most of the lesions grow out of the spinal canal. We report a 48-year-old patient suffering from right foot-drop due to acute compression of right L4 nerve root by...

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. However, osteochondroma of spine relatively rare, accounting for only 4% to 7% primary spinal tumors and less than 3% all osteochondromas. Furthermore, symptomatic in lumbar much rarer. We herein describe a patient who was diagnosed with solitary causing neurological symptoms lower extremities. The successfully underwent surgical ...

The surgical risk and complication rates for an open excision of a benign osteochondroma have been reported as high as 13%. The advent of minimally invasive techniques allows a surgical resection with a smaller incision and a potential for less postoperative morbidity. We presumed endoscopic resection of symptomatic osteochondroma of the distal femur would decrease postoperative morbidity of op...

Osteochondroma, also known as osteocartilaginous exostosis is a benign cartilage forming tumor that usually develops in long bones and relatively uncommon in the craniofacial region. Both the condyle and coronoid tip being the most common sites of occurrence in the mandible, it rarely appears at the symphysis region. Here, we describe a case of osteochondroma arising from the left parasymphysis...

Osteochondroma is a rare condition in the spine that may be indolent due to its slow growth. The authors present a case of 32-year-old man with subclinical osteochondroma in the cervical spine presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome after trivial neck trauma. After resection of the tumor through hemilaminectomy, his symptoms were improved with mild residual sequelae.

Snapping scapula syndrome has several etiologies, including subscapular osteochondroma. When this tumor needs to be removed, this can be done arthroscopically, a procedure that has restricted indications. The authors present a case of a patient with superomedial subscapular osteochondroma who underwent a scapulothoracic arthroscopy for its removal.

Osteochondroma represents the largest group of benign tumors of bone, which usually develops in long bones and relatively uncommon in the craniofacial region. The condyle and coronoid tip are the most common sites of occurrence in the mandible, but both sides of condyle involved has never been reported. Here, we describe a case of osteochondroma arising from the bilateral mandibular condyle.

Osteochondroma is rarely found in the oral and maxillofacial regions. A rare case of osteochondroma affecting the mandibular condyle of a 46-year-old Japanese woman is reported. Clinical examination revealed facial asymmetry, malocclusion, and a palpable hard mass in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Radiologically, the lesion was visualized as a radiopaque mass in the same region, but n...

Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare and may cause signs and symptoms like those seen in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Differentiation between osteochondroma and condylar hyperplasia is not possible on histologic grounds alone, but the radiographic and intraoperative findings together are usually sufficient to establish a definite diagnosis.
