Bilateral osteoarthritis changes more clear on the left knee, seen as narrowed patellofemoral and medial tibiofemoral joint compartments, fine marginal osteophytes, and prominent tibial spines.
A sessile bony protrusion is seen in the distal posterior aspect of the left femur, consistent with exostosis.
Case Discussion
Exostosis is a benign bony lesion mostly asymptomatic and is discovered by chance.
