Solitary Osteochondroma of the Ventral Scapula Associated with Large Bursa Formation and Pseudowinging of the Scapula: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract EN

Osteochondroma (OC) is the most common benign bone tumor and may occur on any bone in which endochondral ossification develops.

Although scapular OC accounts for less than 5% of the cases of solitary OC, OC is the most common lesion among the tumors and tumor-like lesions of the scapula.

OC that develops near the medial scapular border easily causes friction with the ribcage; hence, almost half the number of cases of OC associated with marked bursa formation develops in the ventral scapula.

We report a case of a 27-year-old female with a painful OC of the ventral scapular surface associated with large bursa formation and pseudowinging of the scapula.

After l2 years of follow-up with magnetic resonance imaging, we confirm that the accompanied bursa left at surgery disappears.
