Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bones, characterized by the formation of a bony projection capped with cartilage. These tumors typically arise near the growth plates, commonly affecting long bones such as the femur or tibia. Osteochondromas are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, but they can cause pain, swelling, or restricted joint movement if they compress surrounding tissues. These tumors usually manifest during childhood or adolescence and may exhibit a hereditary tendency in some cases. Diagnosis involves imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to visualize the characteristic bony outgrowth.
In the majority of cases, osteochondromas require no treatment unless they cause symptoms or complications. Surgical removal may be considered for painful or rapidly growing tumors. Malignant transformation of osteochondromas is rare but necessitates careful monitoring.
While generally benign, osteochondromas highlight the importance of vigilant observation and, if necessary, surgical intervention to address symptoms and prevent potential complications in affected individuals.
