Abstract

Extra skeletal osteochondroma is a rare soft tissue tumor. We report a case of extra skeletal osteochondroma in the tendon sheath of tibialis anterior tendon near the left ankle joint in a 7 year old child. The diagnosis of soft tissue osteochondroma should be considered when a well defined bony mass is located in the soft tissue. It must be differentiated from other causes of soft tissue calcification as myositis ossificans, synovial (osteo) chondromatosis, tumor calcinosis; synovial sarcoma, extra skeletal osteosarcoma & other causes of heterotopic ossification.
