Abstract

Osteochondroma, otherwise known as osteocartilagenous exostoses, is the most common benign tumour of long bones. It can present as solitary or multiple lesions. Cervical osteochondroma is rare accounting for only for approximately 1–4 % of osteochondromas. We report an unusual case of a solitary cervical osteochondroma as an incidental finding in 17 years old boy who underwent Computed Tomography (CT) of Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) in our Department.
