Osteochondroma is a common benign chondro-osseous tumour.[1]

Exostosis[2] redirects here.

General

  • Benign.
  • Very common.[1]
  • Abnormal outgrowth of bone and cartilage - associated with growth plate.
  • Usually present before age 20.[3]
  • May be multiple and hereditary.[2]

Gross

Features:

  • Metasphyseal lesions.[4]
    • Often distal femur, proximal humerus or proximal tibia.[3]
    • Occasionally iliac mass.[5]
  • Mushroom-like shape - with broad or narrow base.

Note:

  • Very unusual in craniofacial bones.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Bone - forms base of "mushroom".
  • Cartilage - layer usu. thinner in older individuals.
    • Lobular arrangement[6] - clusters of 3-12 lacunae (separated by stroma).
    • May have mild atypia.
    • Nuclear enlargement - up to 5x normal.
  • Perichondrium - covers the cartilage.
    • Thin layer of cells - higher cellular density than cartilage.
      • Bland spindle cells in a fibrous (eosinophilic) stroma.

Notes:

  • Benign cartilage - one chondrocyte per lacuna, small and round nucleus, no binucleation.
  • Heterotopic ossification - no cartilage, away from joint.
