a case with scaphoid osteochondroma (exostosis) with wrist pain and tender mass. in this case, mass resection was performed with excellent outcome.

A 05-year-old male presented with abnormal fullness and swelling over the right scapula, progressive shoulder pain since 1 year. Limited overhead activities shoulder. X-ray CT scan: S/o approximately 4.8 (AP)X3.5(T)X5.39CC sized sessile cauliflower-like bone outgrowths few osteolytic areas fine trabeculation. Surgical Procedure: An extraperiosteal excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologi...

BACKGROUND Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor that can occur in both the mesenchymal and craniofacial bones. However, craniofacial osteochondromas are extremely rare, because the mandible develops by intramembranous ossification rather than by endochondral ossification. CASE PRESENTATION The most common site of craniofacial osteochondroma is the mandibular condyle, followed by the coronoid...

In laminectomies for costal osteochondroma causing spinal cord compression, visualization of the extraforaminal part of the tumor is limited. The authors describe using a costotransversectomy to resolve spinal cord compression by a costal osteochondroma invading through the neural foramen. A 21-year-old woman with hereditary multiple exostoses presented with hand numbness and progressive neck a...

Extraskeletal osteochondroma, an infrequently encountered benign lesion, is described in 1 patient who presented with a slow-growing, relatively painful mass on the dorsal side of his right foot, in the 3rd toe web. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging studies demonstrated a radio-opaque extraskeletal mass. Excision biopsy revealed a well-defined and lobulated, firm, calcified, extraskele...

Primary tumors of scapula are rare. The majority of them have a cartilaginous origin, being the most frequent the osteochondroma, followed by the chondrosarcoma. In this article we will review the main features of the osteochondroma and another rare tumor, the periosteal chondroma, from which there are very few cases reported in the literature. After reviewing the main features of both tumors, ...

We describe our experience with conservative condylectomy for the correction of facial asymmetry in five patients with osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. All five patients presented with malocclusion and facial asymmetry, which are common clinical findings of osteochondroma involving the mandibular condyle. We performed conservative condylectomy without additional orthognathic surgery fo...

A 21-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry. Crepitus and clicking of the temporomandibular joint were noted. The midline deviated 5.5 mm to the left, and secondary malocclusion was observed. Panoramic and cone-beam computed tomographic images showed an irregular and exophytic bony mass on the anteromedial surface of the right mandibular condyle. A 3-phase bone scan revealed increased t...

Osteochondroma is the most common benign neoplasia of the skeleton. In the head it was been described in cranial base, posterior maxillary surface, maxillary sinus, and different mandibular areas like condyle, ramus, body and symphysis. Osteochondroma of the coronoid process are rare. We present a review of the literature and the report of the cas of a 44 years old female patient presenting lim...

A 29-year-old man presented with a primary sellar turcica osteochondroma manifesting as intratumoral hemorrhage mimicking pituitary apoplexy. The patient suffered sudden onset of headache concomitant with vision loss in the left eye. Radiography and computed tomography detected destruction and calcification of the sellar turcica. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a heterogeneously enhanced su...
