Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. Majority of solitary osteochondromas are asymptomatic however, may give functional impairment due to pain from pressure or mass effect. Osteochondromas occur most often about the knee and picked incidentally, coccygeal osteochondroma however; is a rare occurrence. On a plain radiography, it typically appears as a bony projection with a clear cortex and medulla related to the coccyx. Here we present the case of a 7-year-old child with coccygeal osteochondroma.
骨软骨瘤是最常见的良性骨肿瘤。大多数孤立性骨软骨瘤无症状，但可能因压迫疼痛或肿块效应而导致功能障碍。骨软骨瘤最常发生于膝关节周围，多为偶然发现，而尾骨骨软骨瘤则较为罕见。在X线平片上，它通常表现为与尾骨相关的有清晰皮质和髓质的骨性突起。在此，我们报告一例7岁儿童尾骨骨软骨瘤病例。
