Cervical osteochondroma. Case report
Keywords:
cervical osteochondroma, cartilaginous exostosis, diagnostic radiologyAbstract
Introduction: cartilage-forming tumors are the most frequent primary bone tumors. They are characterized by a strange behavior due to their uncertain evolution and they are difficult to diagnose. Osteochondroma or cartilaginous exostosis is one of the most frequent skeletal tumors. It is a tumor typical of young individuals, with a slight predominance in males. It can be solitary or multiple and is part of the hereditary multiple exostosis syndrome.Patient information: it is presented a male patient, 21 years old, who began to present an increase in volume in the right cervical region secondary to a bone tumor of cartilaginous origin.
Conclusions: in this case the location of the osteochondroma is rare (right cervical region). There was no genetic family history of the disease, no symptoms, only local volume increase. X-ray studies and computerized axial tomography are particularly useful in the diagnosis of this condition.
