“…When they are associated with colonic polyps, fibromatoses and cutaneous cysts, they constitute Gardner Syndrome [1]. There have been only a few reports of osteoma in long bone [7][8][9][10]. In current report, we describe our finding in one patient who had juxta cortical osteoma involving long bone.…”

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.

“… 3 , 14 , 15 Many other entities can simulate a PO; the differential diagnosis includes: melorheostosis, myositis ossificans, ancient osteochondroma developing in mature bone, secondary reactive bone change and parosteal osteosarcoma. 7 , 16 , 17 There are no international guidelines for treatment of PO. For his very low growth potential close clinically and radiographically follow-up will avoid extensive and sometimes debilitating treatment.…”

Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, bone-forming tumor arising from cancellous or compact bone. Osteoma usually is a solitary lesion, but in patients with Gardner’s Syndrome it may be multiple. osteoma may rarely have a parosteal localization. Parosteal osteoma has peculiar radiographic, histologic and clinical features. We describe a case report of a 51- years old man with a bifocal parosteal osteoma of the femur in a non-syndromic patient. This is the first described patient with a bifocal lesion. In literature only 24 cases of paraosteal osteoma are found. Our patient underwent surgery and the lesions were fully excised. At one year follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence.

“…Unlike conventional osteosarcoma, this type of tumour most commonly occurs in patients in the 3–5th decades of life. Although low-grade, the lesion can infiltrate the underlying cortex and extend into the medullary cavity; it also has a propensity to recur [9]. The appearance of scintigraphy can help to differentiate osteosarcoma.…”

Introduction. Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, osteogenic neoplasm. Osteoma of a bone other than the skull and facial bones is extremely rare. An extremely rare case of parosteal osteoma is reported. Case Presentation. A 51-year-old woman presented with a large mass in the left supraclavicular fossa. Radiographs and computed tomography revealed a well-defined, 9 × 6 cm, lobed mass in the midportion of the clavicle. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that it had the same density as cortical bone. An open biopsy was performed to rule out malignant bone tumours, and parosteal osteoma was diagnosed. Four years after the biopsy, the patient was asymptomatic. Conclusion. A rare case of parosteal osteoma of the clavicle was described. Open biopsy is required to rule out a malignant bone tumour, even if parosteal osteoma is suspected based on the clinical course and imaging findings.
