Pediatric osteochondroma

Osteochondroma, also known as exostosis, is the most common benign bone tumor in childhood. The tumor is usually located on one side of the metaphyseal cortex and grows toward the bone surface. Can be divided into single and multiple osteochondroma. The latter has a genetic predisposition and affects epiphyseal development or limb deformities. It is called multiple hereditary osteochondroma disease, or continuation of the backbone.
