“…However, capitate exostosis has also been reported in as young as a 7 year old patient. 13 It generally presents as a painless solid mass around the metaphyseal area of long bones. Only a few cases of osteochondromas arising from the various carpal bones have been reported in the literature till date.…”

Exostosis arising from carpal bones is rare and only a few cases have been reported till date. A 29 years old female came to the outpatient department with a localized swelling present on the dorsum of her right wrist since the past three years. On examining the patient clinically, a well-defined protuberance was observed over the dorsal aspect of the right wrist. CT report showed bony outgrowth over the dorsum of the capitate extending beyond the carpometacarpal joint. In surgical intervention, the mass was removed from the base, which grossly had an appearance of chondral origin. The biopsy report confirmed the diagnosis of exostosis (osteochondroma). Hence, excising the exostosis surgically led to achievement of adequate motion of the patient's wrist along with the additional cosmetic correction benefit.

Introduction: Solitary osteochondromas are extremely rare in the bones of the foot. In the growing skeleton, few cases affecting the metatarsals and the talus have been reported. At present, there have been no reports of osteochondromas affecting the cuneiforms. Case Report: We report the case of a 13-year-old male patient. He presented with marked prominences in the plantar surface of his left foot and pain while participating in sporting activities. Radiological examination with X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed two solitary osteochondromas growing from the medial cuneiform and the head of the 1st metatarsal. The patient was treated surgically by excision of the osteochondromas. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondromas. He had an uneventful recovery and returned to his sporting activities. Conclusion: Solitary osteochondroma can present in the cuneiform and metatarsal of a growing adolescent. CT scan is useful for the accurate diagnosis and surgical removal of the tumor. Keywords: Osteochondroma, foot, metatarsal, cuneiform, child.
