“…Právě ve věku, kdy byl u našeho nemocného spinální osteochondrom diagnostikován, spočívá výjimečnost případu. V písemnictví jsme nalezli pouhých devět pacientů, u nichž byla stejná diagnóza učiněna po 60. roku života (2,3,12,13).…”

Spinal osteochondromas as solitary lesions are rare tumours of a maturing adolescent skeleton. The authors treated a 75-year-old man for low back pain and neurogenic claudication. Symptoms were attributed to a tumorous expansion originating from the spinous process and right lamina of L3 and expanding into the spinal canal and adjacent facet joints. The patient underwent marginal resection of the tumour together with transpedicular stabilization of the segment, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma. The patient remains without any complaint and there are no signs of local recurrence of the tumour 4 years after the surgery. The cases of osteochondroma in an aged spine published in the literature and pertinent aspects of this extremely rare condition are discussed.

Although spinal osteochondromas can cause various clinical signs, the spinal cord or nerve root compression by solitary lumbar osteochondromas are rare clinical entities. We present a 62-year-old female patient with lower-back pain, progressive left leg paresis, numbness on the both lower extremities and urinary incontinence. The patient's clinical picture made us suspect the possibility of cauda equina syndrome. Radiological examination revealed a lesion originating from the left inferior articular facet of the second lumbar vertebrae. Urgent surgical decompression was performed and the lesion was removed totally. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign osteochondroma.
