Abstract

Osteochondromas constitute 30-40 % of all benign bone tumours and is commonly seen at growing ends of long bones. However rarely they are seen in flat bones like scapula, pelvis, skull, scapula, small bones, etc. We describe a case of Osteochondroma on the dorsal aspect of scapula which was pedunculated and caused cosmetic problems besides difficulty in sleeping in supine position in a 13 year old male child. Osteochondromas do occur in flat bones like scapula and should be kept in mind while assessing such patients. Extra periosteal resection of such tumours is necessary to prevent recurrence.
