Abstract

Osteochondroma, also known as exostosis, is the most common benign bone tumor accounting for more than one-third of all benign bone tumors.. It usually develops at the metaphysis of the long bones, especially in the distal femur and proximal tibia. Pelvis is a rare site for osteochondroma. Here, we are presenting a case of iliac osteochondroma in a 18 year old male which was managed by extraperiosteal excision.
