Abstract:
Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. Majority of solitary osteochondromas are asymptomatic however, may give functional impairment due to pain from pressure or mass effect. Osteochondromas occur most often about the knee and picked incidentally, coccygeal osteochondroma however; is a rare occurrence. On a plain radiography, it typically appears as a bony projection with a clear cortex and medulla related to the coccyx. Here we present the case of a 7-year-old child with coccygeal osteochondroma.
