ABSTRACT

Introduction: Osteochondromas are a unique group of benign bone tumors that are characterized by bony outgrowth covered by Cartilage. It has a peculiar micro-architecture as its cortices are extensions of those of parent bone and there is a continuity of medullary cavity; this is akin to branching in plants, rightly earning the name "Exostosis." Case Report: We report a case of a 21-year-old male who presented with complaints of swelling on the upper back associated with mild discomfort. Examination confirmed a bony mass on the dorsal aspect of the scapula without any restricted range of motion of the shoulder joint. On the confirmation of diagnosis, en bloc excision was performed. Conclusion: In conclusion, dorsal scapular osteochondromas are a rarity, and excision of the lesion is an effective management for symptomatic lesions.
