“…10 Spinal involvement is rare. [11][12][13] Only 1.3-4.1% of solitary osteochondromas arise in the spine, 14 where they constitute up to 0.4% of intraspinal tumors or 3.9% of solitary spinal tumors. 5 Unlike pedunculated long bone osteochondromas, vertebral osteochondromas are sessile.…”

“…The incidence of neurological symptoms including myelopathy and radiculopathy caused by the tumor was 0.5–1 % (Brastianos et al 2005 ; Ratliff and Voorhies 2000 ). Rare osteochondroma arising anteriorly from the cervical vertebral body can compress the surrounding tissues, and cause dysphagia (Grivas et al 2005 ; Wong et al 2013 ), sleep apnea (Wang and Chou 2009 ), respiratory distress, vocal cord paralysis (Certo et al 2014 ), and Horner syndrome (Zhao et al 2007 ). Moreover, Certo et al ( 2014 ) reported the correlation between tumor development and presence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.…”
