Highlights Osteochondroma is a frequent benign tumor in the growing adolescent and involves mostly the growth plate of long bones and seldomly the scapula. Solitary osteochondroma of the scapula is a rare and usually incidental finding and usually asymptomatic, but for its compressive effect that can be at the origin of pain, winging, snapping noise, limited range of motion and even possible fractures. The therapeutic options of this rare finding are not clearly codified in our settings. Thus, we present a case of a solitary scapular osteochondroma with pressure symptoms managed surgically.
