Balaji, A Rare Presentation of Solitary Osteochondroma in the Spine of the Scapula with Incidental Pilonidal Sinus, Research Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 19,Issue 3, 2025, Pages 74-77, ISSN 1815-9346, makrjms.2025.3.74.77, (https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=makrjms.2025.3.74.77) Abstract:
Osteochondroma of the scapula is a rare tumor of the thorax. It constitutes 14.4% of all tumors of the scapula with the ventral surface being the most common site of presentation. The dorsal surface of the scapula is rarely seen as a potential site for the origin of osteochondroma from our review of the literature, which was the case in our patient. We report a rare case of a sessile variety of osteochondroma at an unusual site‐dorsal surface of the spine of the scapula in a 19‐year‐old female. The tumor was excised and the patient was asymptomatic with no history of recurrence. This case is reported for its rarity and its unusual site of presentation. A solitary congenital variant of osteochondroma of the spine of the scapula has never been reported to the best of our knowledge.
