Though osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumour, their spinal involvement is less frequent. We report a case of osteochondroma in a 5-year-old female child with multiple hereditary exostoses that originated from posterior elements of C2 vertebra, not involving spinal canal and caused restriction of neck movement. It was excised from its base without disturbing the continuity of lamina. Two years later she had normal neck movements without any recurrence. The rarity of this tumour at this location, with such a large size at an early age, makes this article unique.

“…1,[14][15][16] Solitary osteochondromas develop in isolated bones and are not hereditary, whereas multiple osteochondromas can occur spontaneously or as part of an autosomal dominant disorder known as hereditary multiple exostosis (HME). 10 Both genders can be affected equally, but there is a slight male predominance. 17,18 The incidence of HME is approximately 1 in 50 000 live births.…”

Objective: The purpose of this report was to describe the presentation of a patient with hereditary multiple exostoses and thoracic spinal cord compression from an osteochondroma. Clinical Features: A 31-year-old female presented to a chiropractic clinic with a history of hereditary multiple exostoses and back pain that had existed since the age of 16 years. She had a past medical history that was remarkable for 3 prior surgeries for mass removal. Examination revealed a left upper midscapular mass with decreased sensation. Intervention/Outcome: Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and biopsy led to a diagnosis of osteochondroma. These diagnostic modalities confirmed that there was no malignant degeneration. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large expansive lesion involving the left posterior elements at the region of T3-T4. Subsequent thoracic hemilaminectomy and resection of the spinal tumor with posterior instrumentation and stabilization from T2-T5 resulted in 90% overall subjective improvement. Conclusions: A detailed case history, thorough examination, guided advanced imaging, and biopsy provide important information for the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of expansive lesions in patients with hereditary multiple exostoses.
