Osteoma is benign tumor usually seen in flat bones. Osteoma usually presents as solitary tumor. It rarely presents as multiple lesion in Gardner's Syndrome. Osteoma involving long bones is very rare and review of literature showed only a few case reports. We report a case of osteoma involving the shaft of the femur. A 57 year old lady came with swelling over the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. Clinical and radiological examination showed a mass on the anterolateral aspect of the femur. Excision of the lesion was done and the biopsy report showed Osteoma. The patient is free from disease for the past two years. We report this case as osteoma is rare in such a location. Tumor occurring in rare locations need to be thoroughly investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
