After falling down
Patient Data
bony exostosis with a thin cartilaginous cap is seen arises from the medial femoral metaphysis associated with a fracture line noted near its base
bone marrow and soft tissue oedema and surrounding fluid, features are suggesting fractured osteochondroma
Case Discussion
The above-mentioned finding indicates fractured osteochondroma, which originates from the medial femoral metaphysis. Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumours, often occurring at the metaphyses of long bones, such as the femur. The presence of bone marrow oedema, surrounding fluid, and soft tissue swelling indicated fracture.
Osteochondromas can occur as solitary lesions or multiple, with the latter linked to the autosomal dominant condition known as hereditary multiple exostoses.
