Dr. Abhimanyu Singh, Dr. Anshu Sharma, Dr. Mohit Kumar, Dr. Ashwani Kumar Mathur

Abstract :

Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. It is a developmental anomaly of the bone that results in the formation of an exophytic outgrowth on the surface of the bone. Distal Femur and Proximal Tibia are the most common sites for this tumor. Osteochondroma is rare in the Pelvis. Osteochondroma is also known as Exostosis. We hereby report a case of solitary osteochondroma from the Iliac bone in a 21 year old boy which was managed by en bloc resection.
