“…Osteochondroma accounts for 35-46% of all benign bone neoplasms. The incidence of osteochondroma under the age of 30 is higher in men compared to women [ 1 , 2 ]. The outgrowth is usually found on the metaphyseal region of long bones such as the tibia, humerus, and distal femur, accounting for 90% of all exostoses [ 2 , 3 ].…”

The outgrowth is usually found on the metaphyseal region of long bones such as the tibia, humerus, and distal femur, accounting for 90% of all exostoses [ 2 , 3 ]. Flat bones, such as the scapula, account for 3-4.6% of all cases of osteochondroma, with 14.4% of scapular tumors being diagnosed as osteochondroma [ 4 , 5 ].…”
