Superomedial angle osteochondroma of the scapula as a cause of snapping scapula.

Osteochondroma is a benign tumour of bone located mainly in the metaphysis of long bones with more than 35% of cases affecting the bones around the knee. They are not uncommon to occur in the scapula. On the ventral surface of the scapula, they can produce various manifestations due to mass effect. Authors report a rare presentation of osteochondroma on the ventral superomedial aspect of the scapula in a 10-year old girl, successfully managed by open excision. The girl had no evidence of recurrence at the time of 11 month follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
