Pediatric chest wall tumors are unusual and can arise from bone structures or from adjacent soft tissues. Osteochondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor arising from the metaphysis of bone; however, it is more common in extremity rather than in membranous bone. Although benign, osteochondroma of the rib may lead to fatal complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, fractures, and pleural or pericardial effusion. Therefore, some form of surgical management becomes necessary to treat these lesions. We present a case of 7-year-old female child with solitary osteochondroma of the rib. The tumor was surgically excised and the child is asymptomatic on follow-up.

Multiple hereditary exostosis is an osteogenic disorder that causes outgrowths of cartilaginous bone tumors that are associated with adjacent neurovascular compressive injuries. We present the case of an adolescent male with multiple hereditary exostosis complicated by popliteal pseudoaneurysm formation who underwent excision of the osteochondroma and vein patch angioplasty repair of the artery. We highlight the rare association between this genetic disease and subsequent vascular complications and review the available literature of arterial complications of this disease.

INTRODUCTION
Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone. Tumors are metaphyseal in origin and commonly involve distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal fibula in the lower extremity. Osteochondroma located at proximal fibula can change the normal path of nerves and it may lead to the compression of vessels or peroneal nerve, leading to paralysis.
CASE REPORT
We are reporting a case of an 18-year-old female with proximal fibular osteochondroma causing splitting of common peroneal nerve without any neuropathy.
CONCLUSION
We strive to make the surgeons aware that, when removing osteochondroma located at proximal fibula, care should be taken to identify the entire nerve at the site of lesion before the removal as a procedure done in a hurry in such a case can cause irreversible damage to the patient.

INTRODUCTION
The presentation of the included patient is unique, and the thought process regarding management algorithms used to manage this patient is important to discuss so that other surgeons may benefit. This is the first report of its kind, to our knowledge.
CASE REPORT
A 30-year-old healthy Caucasian male presented with acute Achilles tendon rupture after feeling a pop while playing basketball, in the setting of a known posterior tibial osteochondroma and a recent increase in physical activity.
CONCLUSION
The resultant injury is likely due to mechanical irritation at the tendon site, which caused wear over time and eventual acute rupture. We expanded our percutaneous repair to include an evaluation of the posterior compartment to adequately visualize and excise the large bony lesion. Therefore, we conclude that it is reasonable to counsel patients with known osteochondromas in this location due to the risk of possible Achilles injury, particularly if at all symptomatic.

Future Science OA Oct 2023Bone tumors are rare and have an uneven geographic distribution.
AIM
Bone tumors are rare and have an uneven geographic distribution.
METHODS
730 patients diagnosed with bone tumors were included in this retrospective analysis.
RESULTS
With a 64% rate of malignancy, the most common tumors were metastasis (40%) mostly in the axial skeleton, Osteosarcoma (9%) mostly in the femur, Osteochondroma (8%) mostly in the femur, giant cell tumors (7%) mostly in the knee, and Ewing's sarcoma (6%) mostly in the axial skeleton.
CONCLUSION
Even though a some of the tumors have a predilection for certain localizations in the human body, they may differ in the middle-eastern population. One must also pay attention to the higher rates of malignancies as compared with other cohorts.

A healthy 15-year-old right-hand dominant football player presented to the clinic for a preparticipation examination (PPE) with an exam notable for reduced right shoulder range of motion. The patient reported no complaints, including no pain. Upon questioning, he noted a remote non-sports related injury to that shoulder with unremarkable radiographs at that time. Subsequent X-ray imaging showed a bony abnormality thought to be consistent with an osteochondroma. However, advanced imaging identified it as a heterotrophic ossification center that required a complex, multidisciplinary surgical team to correct. This case of a high school football player's routine PPE that resulted in surgery highlights not only whether sport participation is safe, but also the importance of direct, specific language that asks about the history of injuries, rather than specifically sports related.

Scapular surgery has mainly been studied in the setting of fractures; regional anesthesia can be utilized as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen for postoperative pain relief. Previous studies are limited to scapular fracture pain. The available literature supports the use of various types of nerve blocks and even combinations of different blocks, of which the paravertebral nerve block is one such block that has been effective. We present a case of a patient undergoing excision of a scapular osteochondroma who received a single-shot paravertebral nerve block after surgery with an effective analgesia.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE
Osteochondromas, the most common benign tumors of the appendicular skeleton, are uncommonly found in the spine. Although the cervical spine is the most frequent location of spinal osteochondromas, the lower cervical spine is less commonly affected.
CASE PRESENTATION
We present the case of a 16-year-old female adolescent who presented with a hard palpable mass over the nape of the neck more toward the right side associated with non-radiating pain for 3 years. Radiography and computed tomography (CT) revealed an expansile bone lesion arising from the sixth cervical spinous process (C6). En-bloc resection of the tumor was performed, which alleviated her symptoms. A histopathological examination revealed the presence of an osteochondroma without any features suggestive of malignancy.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION
Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor, mainly found in the appendicular skeleton, with rare occurrences in the spine. It can be solitary or associated with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE). The cervical spine is the most affected area, and its symptoms vary depending on its location. Diagnosis involves imaging, and surgical excision is recommended for symptomatic cases to prevent neurological compromise, and recurrence, and to confirm the diagnosis by histopathology.
CONCLUSION
Diagnosing rare conditions such as cervical osteochondroma requires a high level of clinical suspicion and the assistance of imaging techniques in patients exhibiting relevant symptoms. Optimal outcomes were achieved using en bloc resection.
