Abstract
- Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumor; nonetheless, the natural history is poorly understood as a result of the low threshold for resection and the fact that many of these lesions are asymptomatic and therefore never diagnosed. We report a case of spontaneous regression of a solitary osteochondroma and review the literature. We believe the likelihood of spontaneous regression should be better understood by orthopaedic surgeons and taken into account in the decision process of whether to remove osteochondromas surgically.
