From the case:
Osteochondroma - distal fibula
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/8386/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
A bony mass extends laterally from the distal fibula. No convincing soft tissue mass.

From the case:
Osteochondroma - distal fibula
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/8388/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Mass is composed of bone continuous with the medullary cavity of the fibula. It has a thin high T2 cartilage cap, consistent with an osteochondroma.
Case Discussion
This case demonstrates typical appearances of an osteochondroma.
