“…Intracranial osteochondromas are very rare, accounting for 0.1–0.2% of all intracranial tumors. [ 7 ] Lotfinia et al . (2012) reported a similar case in which a 73-year-old male presenting with quadriparesis and gait difficulties underwent complete and successful excision of an osteochondroma originating from the foreman magnum.…”

Background: Osteochondromas are commonly occurring benign bone tumors which may be either a solitary lesion or occur due to association with hereditary multiple exostoses (HMEs). There have been several reported cases of spinal osteochondromas, but intracranial lesions are rare. Case Description: A 51-year-old male with a history of multiple osteochondromas presented with myelopathy. He had an exostosis arising from the foramen magnum causing compression of the cervical spinal cord that was successfully removed. Genetic testing revealed that he had HMEs. Conclusion: Osteochondromas of the skull are extremely rare. However, parts of the foramen magnum ossify in cartilage and can give rise to an osteochondroma. Here, we present a patient with HMEs who developed cervical myelopathy due to an osteochondroma arising from the foramen magnum. Due to the cartilaginous ossification of the foramen magnum, clinicians should be aware that osteochondromas can occur in this location and potentially give rise to cervical myelopathy.

“…Osteochondromas have been documented in all the pelvic bones and its incidence is found to be 5% among all osteochondromas [ 3 ]. Kumar et al [ 4 ] have reported a case of osteochondroma on ileum bone. There are cases of osteochondroma of pubic symphysis causing sexual disturbances [ 5 ].…”

Solitary osteochondroma in the body of the pubic bone: a cadaveric case report

Osteochondromas develop as cartilaginous nodules in the periosteum of bones. They are the commonest benign tumors of the skeleton, generally observed in the long bones. Rarely, they are also found in the axial skeleton, flat bones of skull and facial bones. During a regular dissection, we came across a solitary osteochondroma in posterior surface of the body of the right pubic bone. Histopathology of the bony projection confirmed the typical features of the osteochondroma. The symptomatic osteochondromas are usually evaluated during radiographic examination. Though, the observed osteochondroma is relatively smaller its unusual location is remarkable and knowledge of occurrence of such nodules is clinically important during the diagnosis and planning of treatment.

“…Intracranial osteochondromas represent 0.1-0.2% of all intracranial tumors. [ 3 ] They arise from the residual rests of primordial cartilage in basilar synchondroses entrapped during endochondral ossification of the skull base; hence they arise most commonly in the middle cranial fossa where so many sutures converge. About 15% of them arise supra tentorially attached to the falx cerebri in the fronto parietal location.…”

Background:Intracranial osteochondromas are uncommon. The majority of lesions arise from the base of the skull or from bones developed by endochondral ossification. A minority of cases are attached to the falxcerebri in the fronto parietal location.Case Description:We report a case of a giant intracranial osteochondroma in a 24-year-old man. This patient presented with complaints of convulsions and headache. Imaging studies of the brain, gross, and histological features concluded it to be an osteochondroma.Conclusion:This case is reported in view of extreme rarity of the lesion, and to emphasize the fact that complete surgical resection is curative.
