Abstract

Osteochondromas is one of the common bone tumour account for 35-46% of cases. These are most commonly seen on the metaphysis of a long bone, but they can arise from any bone which is preformed from cartilage and also involves flat bones like ilium and scapula. Scapular involvement is noted in 3 – 4.6 % of cases and patients usually are affected by winging of scapula. It is common in young patients, usually below 30 years of age, with a ratio of males to females of 2:1. We present a male patient diagnosed with solitary asymptomatic scapular osteochondroma with review of literature.
