Solitary Osteochondroma of the Distal Tibia
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:Osteochondroma or exostosis is one of the most common benign tumors of the bone;it occurs usually on the metaphysis of long bones, mainly the distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus, and rarely observed around the ankle. We describe an unusual solitary osteochondroma of distal tibia affecting the lateral malleolus of a young man. Although the radiographic characteristics of the lesion were indicative of osteochondroma, a typically asymptomatic tumor that is usually identified as an incidental finding, the rare location and the symptoms described in this case make it rather unusual, in particular pain and impending fibula fracture necessitated surgical intervention. Keywords:Ankle, Osteochondroma, Exostosis, Benign bone tumors.
