[The scapula: rare localization of osteochondroma].

The authors demonstrate their 6 cases of scapular exostoses which were operated on between 1973 and 1993 at the Orthopaedic Department of the Medical University of Pécs. Results of the surgery with a mean five year follow up are discussed, and the literature data of incidence, diagnosis and treatment are reviewed. With resection of the osteochondroma good results were achieved in all of the cases.
