Abstract
Osteochondromas are the most commonly found benign bone tumours, contributes to 45% of benign bone tumours. They commonly involves metaphyseal region of long bones and are covered with a cartilaginous cap. Solitary primary osteochondromas are very rarely found in hand, less than 5% of all osteochondromas, more commonly found in phalanges than metacarpals. Among phalanges, Proximal and distal phalanges are more commonly involved. Involvement of Middle phalanx in solitary osteochondroma is very rare. Osteochondroma commonly develops in growing bone and increases in size till skeletal maturity. They usually found in 1st and 2nd decades of life.
