1/3. A rare giant intracranial osteochondroma.osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. However, intracranial osteochondroma is very rare, which usually arises from the skull base. Origination from the dura and falx occurs only in sporadical cases. To our knowledge, only twelve cases have been reported in English literature. We report a case of giant osteochondroma from the falx cerebri causing external compression on the brain. Radiographic findings, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging manifestation with histologic correlation are described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Giant solitary osteochondroma of the proximal humerus treated by resection and fibular autograft reconstruction.A giant solitary osteochondroma of the proximal humerus in a 9-year-old boy was widely resected. Reconstruction of the bone defect was achieved with two nonvascularized fibula segments which gave sufficient stability to the proximal humerus and yielded rapid bone remodeling into an almost normal cortical bone after six months.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Intra-articular osteochondroma of the ankle joint.Intra-articular osteochondroma is a rare entity that appears as a single giant osteocartilaginous loose body in a joint cavity. The few reported cases of intra-articular osteochondroma have occurred in the knee joint. We report the case of a large osteochondral loose body in the ankle joint of a 10-year old girl and discuss the origin of the osteochondral tumor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
