Osteochondromas are very common. They are typically seen in long bones and rarely seen in smaller bones. Some of the rare presentations include flat bones, the body of pelvis, scapula, skull, and small bones of the hand and foot. Their presentation also varies according to the site of presentation.
We have included five cases of osteochondromas occurring at rare locations with variable presentations and their management. We have included one case of metacarpal, one case of skull exostosis, two cases of scapula exostosis, and one case of fibula exostosis.
Osteochondromas can rarely occur at unusual locations. It is important to thoroughly evaluate all patients presenting with swelling and pain over bony regions to accurately diagnose osteochondromas and manage accordingly.
骨软骨瘤非常常见。它们通常见于长骨，很少见于较小的骨骼。一些罕见的表现包括扁骨、骨盆体、肩胛骨、颅骨以及手足的小骨。其表现也因发病部位而异。
我们纳入了5例发生在罕见部位、表现各异的骨软骨瘤病例及其治疗情况。其中包括1例掌骨骨软骨瘤、1例颅骨外生骨疣、2例肩胛骨外生骨疣和1例腓骨外生骨疣。
骨软骨瘤很少发生在不寻常的部位。对所有出现骨区肿胀和疼痛的患者进行全面评估，以准确诊断骨软骨瘤并进行相应治疗非常重要。
