Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Orthopedics
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Osteochondromas are common benign bone tumors, typically affecting long bones.
  • Presentation as a neck mass is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old girl presented with a firm neck mass and hoarseness.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed an osteochondroma originating from the cervical spine.

Findings:

  • The cervical spine osteochondroma caused significant mass effect, leading to hoarseness.
  • Extensive diagnostic workup was required to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the lesion.

Implications:

  • Osteochondromas must be included in the differential diagnosis for pediatric neck masses.
