Solitary Calcaneal Osteochondroma with Growth After Skeletal Maturity. Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract
Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor, accounting for 35% of benign bone tumors and 8% of bone tumors. It is formed by an exostosis of trabecular bone covered with cartilage that affects the metaphyseal region of long bones, from the growth plate, around the knee, in the shoulder or wrist, and it is extremely rare in the phalanges of the hand or foot. It grows during childhood and adolescence until skeletal maturity. Therefore, its growth in an adult suggests a malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma, although there are also reports without malignancy. Furthermore, the calcaneus is a short bone, so the appearance of this type of injury would be pathophysiologically unexpected. Our objective is to present a case of solitary calcaneal osteochondroma with growth after skeletal maturity, its diagnosis and treatment, as well as a review of the literature. Its relevance stems from the scarcity of literature, its uncommon location, and the possibility of malignancyDownloads
