A Rare Case of Solitary Osteochondroma of Right Hip with Unusual Clinical Presentation

INTRODUCTION: Osteochondroma is the most common primary benign tumor and developmental osseous anomaly resulting in exophytic overgrowth on the surface of bone lined by hyaline cartilage cap. In morphological view, they are sessile or pedunculated forms most commonly occurring in hip, scapula, humerus, and rarely, clavicle. X-ray, MRI angiogram are useful to know the bony, vascular pathology and histopathological investigation is the gold standard investigation to confirm the diagnosis. CASE REPORT: A 30-year-old male patient presented to our department with pain and swelling over the right gluteal region followed by difficulty in walking in the past 3 months. On clinical and radiological examination, we observed the findings suggestive of osteochondroma, the patient was planned for excisional biopsy, and the material sent to histopathological examination which confirmed as osteochondroma. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and excision of tumor prevent functional disability and malignant transformation and improve the life expectancy.
