A Solitary, Large Calcaneal Osteochondroma Growing Extensively After Skeletal Maturity: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Curēus 2023 July
Although osteochondromas are the most common benign tumors in the skeleton, calcaneal osteochondromas are very rare. New onset of pain or rapid growth of the tumor, especially after the closure of the epiphyseal growth plate, might reflect malignant transformation. However, enlargement of solitary osteochondromas reported as benign in a skeletally mature patient is present in the literature. We report the clinical and radiologic findings of a calcaneal osteochondroma with an extremely rare placement and painful rapid growth causing limited ambulation in a 27-year-old male. After surgical removal of the tumor, histologic examination demonstrated no evidence of malignancy, and there was no recurrence during the three-year follow-up.
