Osteochondromas are the most common bone tumors in children, may be solitary or multiple.
The true prevalence of solitary osteochondromas is not known, because many asymptomatic lesions go undiagnosed.

Most osteochondromas, solitary or multiple, arise from tubular bones and are metaphyseal in location.
