Osteochondroma of the spine is a rare condition. It may present in solitary form or with multiple exostoses or hereditary multiple exostoses. In this article, we report a 22-year-old male case who was diagnosed with cervical osteochondroma, originating from the third and fourth cervical vertebra.

A case of histopathologically proven extraskeletal osteochondroma of the thigh is presented along with its radiographic, CT and MRI findings. This is the first such case reported, to the best of our knowledge. The diagnosis of extraskeletal osteochondroma should be considered when a discrete ossified mass is localised in the soft tissue.

Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumours of bone. These are most commonly seen on the metaphysis of a long bone, but they can arise from any bone which is preformed from cartilage. To best of our knowledge, very few cases of osteochondroma scapula have been reported in literature. We hereby report a very rare case of osteochondroma which arose from scapula in a four year old boy, whic...

Osteochondromas arising from the interosseous border of the distal tibia and involving distal fibula are uncommon. We present a 16 year old young boy with an impending fracture, erosion and weakness of the distal fibula, secondary to an osteochondroma arising from the distal tibia. Early excision of this deforming distal tibial osteochondroma avoided the future risk of pathological fracture of ...

Solitary lumbar spinal osteochondroma with neurological symptoms is very rare. We report the case of an 81-year-old man with radicular pain caused by lumbar solitary osteochondroma. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a bony tumor arising from the left L2/3 articular process. Intraoperative findings showed that the tumor originated from the left superior articular process of the L3 vertebra....

INTRODUCTION Intra-articular osteochondroma and acoustic neuroma are rare entities. CASE PRESENTATION We report the rare occurrence of a para-articular osteochondroma of the knee developing over short duration, 5 months, following minor injury. CONCLUSION Predisposition to heterotrophic ossification after previous neurosurgery and a second acoustic neuroma may have accelerated the growth of...

Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle has been found in the oral and maxillofacial region rarely. This paper describes a case of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle in a 20-year-old woman, who was referred to our service with facial asymmetry, prognathic deviation of chin, cross-bite to the contralateral side, changes in condylar morphology, limited mouth opening, and malocclusion. Comp...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondromas are benign tumours of the skeletal system. Their commonplace of occurrence is around growing ends of long bones like lower end of femur and upper end of tibia, but literature describing their incidence around flat bones of body like pelvis, scapula and small bones of hand, foot is rare. CASE REPORT We describe two cases of osteochondromas at unusual sites, one on ...

We report the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with kyphosis resulting from a giant symptomatic costal osteochondroma around the left fourth rib. The osteochondroma on the left side of the back was 56 cm × 47 cm × 33 cm and was painful. The size and growth of the tumor suggested a malignant transformation of a large costal osteochondroma. Multiple osteochondromas were also found on the l...

Four cases of supracondylar process of the humerus in three patients are presented. The main features of a supracondylar process as compared with an osteochondroma are reviewed. The three patients had pain and one had signs indicating median nerve compression. One had a supracondylar process together with an osteochondroma in the contralateral supracondylar region. One patient with a bilateral ...
