Introduction: Osteochondromas (often referred to as exostosis) are usually an incidental finding and are characterized by a benign bony protuberance covered with a cartilaginous surface in the metaphyseal region of long bones. Though they do not affect the patients directly; but cause indirect complications of varying degree of severity such as bursitis, neurovascular impingement, fracture of peduncle or malignant transformation. Imaging studies such as an MRI or CT, are useful aids in the diagnosis; however, biopsy is a mandatory requisite for a definitive diagnosis. Treatment modalities include open surgical or an arthroscopic resection and has good prognosis. Recurrence follows incomplete excision.
