Regression of a solitary osteochondroma of the distal humerus in a toddler following trauma

Osteochondromas are bone exostoses, with the vast majority extending from the metaphyseal region of long bones and are capped by cartilage. A review of the current literature reveals spontaneous regression of osteochondromas is a rarely documented event, with all but two of these recorded events res...

description Osteochondromas are bone exostoses, with the vast majority extending from the metaphyseal region of long bones and are capped by cartilage. A review of the current literature reveals spontaneous regression of osteochondromas is a rarely documented event, with all but two of these recorded events resolving before skeletal maturity and within 6 years of identification. We present a case of trauma-induced resolution of a solitary osteochondroma after less than 3 months in a 15-month-old male, with a review of current literature.
