Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Osteochondroma or exostosis is most common primary benign bone tumor and comprising of more than one third of primary bone tumor. Osteochondroma originate mainly from the metaphysis of long bone with more than 35% of cases affecting the bone around the knee. It is rarely found in flat bones like scapula, that may cause abnormal scapulothoracic movement leading to pain, snapping scapula and pseudowinging of scapula. This article present a case of Osteochondroma on anterior aspect of scapula in a 10 years old in an otherwise healthy male causing pseudo winging and snapping of right scapula and pain in affected area. X-ray demonstrated a exophytic mass on anterior aspect of right scapula. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed an abnormal bony mass arising from scapula. Surgical en block resection was performed and patient symptoms resolved dramatically. The histopathological diagnosis was osteochondroma. So in a patient with pseudowinging of scapula one should be aware of rare diagnosis osteochondroma along with other more common aetiology.
