  A painless skeletal swelling or a slowly growing mass is the usual mode of presentation. HME leads to abnormalities such as palpable bony masses and limb shortening in the first or second decade of life. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  This will cause immediate pain and swelling in the area of the tumor. Because many osteochondromas do not cause any discomfort or other symptoms, they are often discovered by accident when an x-ray is done for an unrelated reason. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]

• Joint Effusion

  A minority of patients has some joint effusion. In 15-30% of the chondroblastomas a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst can be found. Radiology On radiography the lesion is predominantly lytic with geographic and sclerotic margins. [lumc.nl]

Imaging Studies: Initial workup begins with history and physical examination including a detailed family history, especially in patients with two or more lesions. Radiographic imaging is the next step and can be diagnostic. [posna.org]

With CT scanning, radiation burden in the young may be a disadvantage, particularly when several examinations may be required in the workup of hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) or sarcomatous transformation. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Nonsurgical Treatment In most cases, treatment consists of careful observation over time. Your doctor may want to take regular x-rays to keep track of any changes in the tumors. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]

Treatment [ edit ] No treatment is required if the diagnosis is not in doubt and if the patient is relatively asymptomatic. However, surgical resection is indicated for persistent irritation from bursitis or for neurovascular compromise. [en.wikibooks.org]

The prognosis is favorable In most cases, with successful treatment the prognosis is favorable. Relapses usually do not occur. [medicalj-center.info]

The prognosis is usually excellent It is estimated that very small fraction of individuals may have recurrence after surgery (2% recurrence - according to Mayo Clinic). [dovemed.com]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the development of complications. Spontaneous resolution of osteochondromas during childhood and puberty is rare but has been described. [patient.info]

This happens in approximately 1% of solitay osteochondroma cases [1] [9] [12] and 5-25% in multiple osteochondromas. [1] [13] Etiology The etiology regarding the development of solitary osteochondroma is currently unknown [6]. [physio-pedia.com]

BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken to determine whether unilateral hallux valgus progresses unilaterally and to evaluate the demographics, etiologies. [usehobas.xpg.uol.com.br]

Etiology: Osteochondromas have been historically viewed as developmental lesions, but there is evidence supporting a neoplastic origin (Biermann, 2002; Murphey, 2000; Porter, 1999). [posna.org]

Causes of tumors in most cases are not the exact etiology. Some tumors appear to be due to genetic nature. Tumors are benign or malignant (cancer). Sometimes benign tumors are transformed into malignant ones. [medicalj-center.info]

Osteochondromas without a stalk are called sessile exostoses. [2] [11] Epidemiology/Etiology Epidemiology Average age of clinical presentation is between 10 and 30. [2] [7] [10] [8] These tumors account for 10%-15% of all bone tumors [3], while representing [physio-pedia.com]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Age: Present before the age of 20 in 80% of cases ( range of age 10–35 years) Sex: There is a 2:1 male to female predominance for the development of solitary osteochondromas. [en.wikibooks.org]

Epidemiology: Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumor of bone accounting for 10% of primary skeletal tumors and 40% of benign bone tumors (Dahlin, 1986). [posna.org]

Epidemiology Affects 2 per 100,000 population. [ 2 ] More frequently found in Caucasians than in other races. Risk factors Inheritance is autosomal dominant, with near-complete penetrance. [patient.info]

Epidemiology data are based on the Netherlands Committee of bone tumors database. Benign Cartilage Tumors Benign cartilage tumors arise primarily in young age groups, with a peek incidence between the second and third decade. [lumc.nl]

Pathophysiology [ edit ] Osteochondromas result from the growth of aberrant growth plate with cartilage on the bony surface. As the cartilage grows, it forms a cap over a bony mass that develops by progressive enchondral ossification. [en.wikibooks.org]

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Osteochondromas are developmental lesions rather than true neoplasms • These lesions result from the separation of a fragment of epiphyseal growth plate cartilage, which subsequently herniates through the periosteal bone cuff • The mechanism [slideshare.net]

Dislocation of the radial head may occur earlier than previously thought, hindering its prevention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

How to prevent the danger? As a preventive measure to avoid injuries, fractures, to monitor the current of hereditary diseases. Also children predisposed to this disease on hereditary indicators need to undergo an annual rentgenologicheski study. [medicalj-center.info]

Typically, the cartilage cap and the perichondrium (dense connective tissue around the cartilage) are also excised in such cases to prevent lesion recurrence. [knowcancer.com]
