ABSTRACT
To report the first operated and histopathologically studied case of spontaneously resolving solitary osteochondroma. An 18-year-old girl presented with leg pain of 2 months' duration. She had been diagnosed to have a proximal tibial osteochondroma since the age of 9 years. Excision biopsy of the tumor remnant and its surrounding tissue was done after CT and MRI imaging. The spontaneous resolution of this case could have been due to simultaneous interruption of blood supply to the tumor and its cartilaginous cap or hyperemia around the tumor

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a tumour occurring in the younger age group. Here we report a case of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the ilium in a middle aged male patient. This is the first reported case in English literature of aneurysmal bone cyst of the ilium in a middle-aged male. Review of literature and the problems in the management of such a large tumour of the ilium are discussed
