Pelvic Osteochondroma as a Differential Diagnosis for Abdominal Mass: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bone.

 

Case Report: In this case, we present a young patient complaining of sensation of a mass in her abdomen since a few weeks ago and abdominal pain, which caused her visit to the clinic. Imaging studies revealed a well-defined lobulated lesion, and pathological examination was correlated with osteochondroma of the iliac bone.

 

Conclusion: This site for osteochondroma is very rare, and this case was the solitary type.
