Abstract:
Exostosis or osteochondroma is a benign tumor that may be asymptomatic and is usually discovered by chance, the symptomatology most often would be that of a complication. The risk of transformation malignant must be evaluated by MRI by measuring the thickness of the cartilaginous cap. We report the case of an exostosis of the proximal humerus whose symptoms are linked to a dynamic conflict of the tumor, particularly during external rotation movement, associated with a cuff with a thickness of 17 mm, raising the suspicion of the probability of malignant transformation. The treatment has consisted in a resection in monobloc of the tumor. The objective of this case report is to describe the clinical management of this rare disease of the upper member.
