ABSTRACT
Here, the case of an osteochondroma, which developed on the cervical spine of an 18-year old boy, is presented. Generally, an osteochondroma is very difficult to diagnose, due to their rarity and non-specific or lack of symptoms, and because they show radiolucency on plain X-ray. Due to the neurological symptoms of this patient, including radiating pain and a palpable protruding hard mass, the CT and MRI images were checked for a more accurate radiological evaluation. These images showed evidence of spinal cord compression or obliteration of the neural foramen. An en bloc excisional biopsy of the bony mass and cartilage cap, and a decompressive laminectomy were performed.
