ExostosisSynovial chondromatosis a b s t r a c t Snapping hip is produced by intraarticular and extraarticular pathology. We describe a rare case of extraarticular snapping hip caused by bursal synovial chondromatosis overlying an osteochondroma. A 32-year-old male presented with swelling in his right gluteal region for 6 years associated with pain and snapping on movements since three months. On examination, he had an ill-defined 10 Â 6 cm swelling over the posterolateral aspect of the greater trochanter. Plain radiographs revealed an osteochondroma arising from the greater trochanter. Further imaging showed exostosis with possible haemangioma, lipoma or liquefied haematoma overlying it. We proceeded with excision biopsy and intraoperatively found a bursa with synovial chondromatosis overlying the exostosis. At the end of ten months follow up, patient was asymptomatic and had no snapping. We present this case for its rarity, clinical and radiological diagnostic challenges and for its unique presentation.

SUMMARYOsteochondromas, or exostoses, are overwhelmingly found as isolated lesions although they can be present within the context of multiple hereditary exostosis. Increased exostotic load associated with multiple hereditary exostosis can lead to limb-length discrepancy, increased femoral anteversion, valgus angulation, and acetabular dysplasia. Solitary osteochondromas have been linked with bursal inflammation and pain, compression on neurovascular structures, and malignant degeneration, groin and lower extremity pain. Isolated exostosis involving the femoral neck is a rare entity which is often diagnosed late when the patient is being investigated for other problems. We present a young female with a history of hip pain for 3 years with restriction of movements around the hip joint and radicular pain which turned out to be a solitary osteochondroma of the femoral neck. Surgical excision relieved the symptoms.

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign tumors of the axial skeleton. Location of a solitary exostosis in the scapula is relatively rare. We report the case of an osteochondroma of the scapula in a 13-year-old boy. Because of the atypical location with nonspecific shoulder pain, the diagnosis is often made late. CT is necessary to determine the correct position of the osteochondroma. Despite the young age of the patient, surgical excision of the exostosis was performed, because of an arising thoracic pressure pain. The outcome was good, the patient noticed disappearance of previous painful symptoms, and a normal profile of the scapula was gained.
