Osteochondroma represents a bone outgrowth covered by cartilaginous tissue and localized on the external surface of the bone. The incidence of osteochondroma is 20-35% of all pediatric benign tumors. Osteochondromas can be present in solitary or multiple forms and usually occur in the metaphysis of long bones in immature skeletons. The present study aimed to retrospectively determine the association between imaging diagnostic accuracy and histopathological examinations, which are the main methods of diagnosis for this type of tumor. A total of 66 patients presenting with radiological aspects of osteochondroma were initially selected; however, only the 56 patients who had a positive histopathological diagnosis of osteochondroma were eventually included in this study. Patient characteristics were taken into consideration and included age, sex, lesion localization, lesion imaging semiotics and histopathological aspects. Osteochondromas are generally asymptomatic lesions that are often incidentally diagnosed after trauma, which makes it difficult to determine the exact incidence of this pathology.
骨软骨瘤是一种由软骨组织覆盖并位于骨外表面的骨赘。骨软骨瘤的发病率占所有儿童良性肿瘤的20%-35%。骨软骨瘤可呈单发或多发形式，通常发生于未成熟骨骼的长骨干骺端。本研究旨在回顾性确定影像学诊断准确性与组织病理学检查之间的关联，这两种检查是此类肿瘤的主要诊断方法。最初共选取了66例具有骨软骨瘤影像学表现的患者；然而，最终本研究仅纳入了56例组织病理学诊断为骨软骨瘤阳性的患者。研究考虑了患者的特征，包括年龄、性别、病变部位、病变影像学特征和组织病理学特征。骨软骨瘤通常是无症状的病变，常在创伤后偶然被诊断出来，这使得难以确定这种病理情况的确切发病率。
