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]

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]

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]

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 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]
