Objective:
To report the first operated and histopathologically studied case of spontaneously resolving solitary osteochondroma.
Case Presentation And Identification:
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.
Conclusion:
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.
