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. |
