“…Plain radiography is generally sufficient for diagnosis and follow-up [1]. High imaging modalities are needed when complication arises or malignant changes are suspected [5]. In osteochondroma of flat bones with complex anatomy and sessile lesion, the continuity and thus the diagnosis may not be apparent on the radiograph alone.…”

Osteochondroma is a developmental anomaly of the bone that results in the formation of an exophytic outgrowth on the surface of the bone. It is the most common benign bone tumor. Distal Femur and Proximal Tibia are the most common sites for this tumor. Osteochondroma is rare in the Pelvis. Osteochondroma is also known as Exostosis. We hereby report a case of solitary osteochondroma from the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine in a 22-year-old boy which was managed in our Centre.

“…sessile and pedunculated, the latter being more common and accounting for 88.2% of the cases. [2] They have a classic mushroom shape with a narrow to broad stalk attaching the tumour to the parent bone. [4] CT scan serves as a very good modality for demonstrating the cortical and medullary continuity and to evaluate for signs of malignancy.…”

“…[1] Most of osteochondromas are found around the knee and the most commonly involved site is the distal end of the femur. [2,3] Osteochondroma is a cartilage-capped bony protrusion on the external surface of the bone. Many osteochondromas are asymptomatic and are incidentally discovered on radiography.…”

Osteochondromas, also known as exostoses are benign neoplasms, which arise from small cartilage nodules within the periosteum. They can be either pedunculated or sessile and are more common in the extremities, mostly around the knees. They rarely develop in bones like scapula, feet, hands and pelvis. Management of the lesion is by en-bloc extra-periosteal excision. This case is published for the rarity of location of the osteochondroma. CASE REPORTWe present a case of 17-year male who came with a swelling in right groin since 1 year, which was diagnosed to be osteochondroma on clinical examination and radiological imaging. Excision biopsy was done as the patient wanted it to be removed for cosmetic purpose and confirmed it to be non-malignant osteochondroma. There has been no recurrence at 1 year of followup. CONCLUSIONThus osteochondroma of the pelvis should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis when evaluating mass in pelvis. Also these have to be removed when they pose cosmetic problems.

Background: Pattern of diseases help institutions and governments to know the dominant disease conditions and how to allocate scarce resources. Knowledge of the pattern of orthopedic disease conditions seen and treated in the Rivers State university teaching hospital will help in guiding the repositioning effort of the department/discipline, especially in the light of the new status of the institution as a teaching hospital for teaching, service delivery and research. The aim of this study therefore was to determine the pattern of orthopedic cases seen in the surgery department of the Rivers State university teaching hospital from January 2010 to January 2019.Methods: A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at the emergency room, clinic, operating theatre, and wards of the surgery department of the Rivers State university teaching hospital, using hospital registers. The study was analyzed using the Microsoft excel spreadsheet.Results: There were 2854 orthopedic emergency room cases seen, comprising 621 fractures, 463 lumbar spondylosis/ spondylolisthesis, 392-foot ulcer/sepsis, 375 dislocations, 310 acute osteomyelitis, and 864 osteoarthritis with other conditions. The common orthopedic cases seen in the out-patient clinics in descending order of occurrence were lumbar spondylitis / spondylolisthesis (881), osteoarthritis (655), fractures (560), dislocations (227), etc.Conclusions: Trauma-related disease care constituted the bulk of work of the orthopedic surgeon in our environment in the emergency room, operating theatre and ward admissions, and younger males were more affected.
