Pedunculated Osteochondroma arising from the Medial Aspect of Proximal Femur: A Rare Presentation

Abstract

ABSTRACT Osteochondroma is a benign bony tumor arising as a bony outgrowth covered by a cartilage cap and occurs most commonly in the metaphysis of long bones (proximal tibia, distal femur, proximal humerus) and pelvis. Osteochondroma grows eccentrically instead of centrifugally. This article reports a case of a 24-yearold female, who presented with a painless bony hard irregular swelling over medial aspect of right groin. There was no distal neurovascular deficit. Site, nature, and extent of the lesion were assessed by radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. Tumor was completely excised and on histopathology, osteochondroma confirmed. No weight bearing was allowed for 1 week. Patient returned to her normal routine activities in 1 month. On regular follow-up, no evidence of recurrence of the lesion was seen.
