Osteochondroma or exostosis is a bony developmental anomaly, which arises from exophytic outgrowth on bone surfaces in a characteristic manner. Osteochondroma is asymptomatic and grows away from the nearby joint. This paper reports an unusual presentation of osteochondroma in which the patient was surprisingly completely symptomatic. The lesion grew toward the nearby joint and the radiographic findings were not compatible with surgical findings.

Osteochondroma (OC) is a common bone tumour that rarely affects the mandibular condylar process. This pathology can show typical clinical features, such as facial asymmetry, deviation of the chin and dental inferior midline, changes in condylar morphology and malocclusion with an increased posterior mandibular vertical height. The management of condylar OC is a debated topic among surgeons.

Background: Benign bone lesions are a common incidental finding in athletes during workup for musculoskeletal complaints, and athletes are frequently advised to halt participation in contact sports. There are no current guidelines to assist clinicians in referring patients with these lesions to a subspecialist or in advising athletes on the safety of returning to sport.
Purpose: To assist sports medicine physicians in appropriate referral for patients with benign bone lesions through presentation of a literature review and the case of an adolescent athlete with a benign bone lesion in a location with a significant fracture risk.

Subungual exostosis is a relatively rare benign bone tumor that occurs near the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes. Though it is similar to osteochondroma, it can be distinguished by its specific location and lack of communication with the medullary cavity. Although recurrence after surgical excision has been reported, no studies have examined the timing or progression of recurrence, nor have there been reports detailing the chronological imaging findings of recurrent cases.

Introduction: Osteochondroma, a common benign bone tumor, predominantly affects young individuals, with a higher prevalence in males. It typically manifests as a bony growth capped with cartilage near bone growth plates, often extending away from joints. While most cases are asymptomatic, some may present with pain, swelling, or mechanical complications necessitating surgical intervention.

Introduction: Enchondroma protuberans (EP), a rare form of enchondroma with exophytic growth, differs radiographically from classical enchondromas and can mimic osteochondroma, periosteal chondroma, or chondrosarcoma. Proper differentiation is crucial to avoid unnecessary radical resection, as EP requires intralesional curettage rather than the surgical removal typical for osteochondromas.
Case Report: A 14-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging, painless mass on the lateral aspect of his left hand, initially noticed 4 years ago.
