Solitary sessile osteochondroma of scapula, a rare case report

Yashavantha Kumar C et al. J Clin Diagn Res. 2014 Mar.

Abstract

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, which was treated by excisional biopsy.

Keywords: Osteochondroma; Scapula; Sessile.
