Abstract
Introduction: The most prevalent benign tumour affecting the metaphysis of long bone is osteochondroma, a form of cartilaginous tumour. Solitary or multiple osteochondromas can prevail.Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) or familial osteochondromatosis is the multiple variant, which is an autosomal dominant syndrome.
Case Presentation: A 35-year old female with right-hand dominance was referred todepartment of physiotherapy. On palpation small nodular swelling of marble size was present in left axilla. X-rays findings showed increased scapular mass and ribs were compressed laterally.
Discussion: The most widespread benign tumour is osteochondroma. In 3.0-6.4 percent of all instances, the scapula is implicated. The osteochondroma normally develops on the scapula's anterior aspect. The scapula osteochondroma induces pain and a grating sound when the scapula is moved. Mechanic irritation of muscle, tendon, or soft tissue, emergence of a pseudoaneurysm or bursa, fracture, or malignant transformation are all causes of symptoms.
Conclusion: Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor. Management of osteochondroma is important to improve the quality of life. Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing Scapular osteochondroma.
