Osteochondroma is a benign cartilaginous neoplasm and the most common benign tumor of bone. Osteochondromas occur primarily in the axial skeleton with a predilection for the distal femur, and relatively few cases occur in the head and neck region. The majority of cases of osteochondromas in the head and neck region affect the mandibular condyle, with fewer cases reported in the skull base and the neck. To our knowledge, there is no reported case of osteochondroma of the hyoid bone documented in the English literature. We thus report the first case of a hyoid bone osteochondroma, presenting as an asymptomatic mass in a young woman.
骨软骨瘤是一种良性软骨肿瘤，也是最常见的良性骨肿瘤。骨软骨瘤主要发生于中轴骨骼，以股骨远端最为多见，而发生于头颈部区域的病例相对较少。头颈部区域的骨软骨瘤大多数累及下颌骨髁突，累及颅底和颈部的病例报道较少。据我们所知，英文文献中尚无舌骨骨软骨瘤的病例报道。因此，我们报告首例舌骨骨软骨瘤病例，该病例表现为一名年轻女性的无症状肿块。
