title: Osteochondroma of symphysis pubis presenting as a prostatic mass: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of an asymptomatic osteochondroma of the symphysis pubis that presented as a prostatic mass on physical examination and demonstrated bladder impingement on a computerized tomography scan. Radiographic, gross and histological study confirmed the diagnosis. The consideration of bone tumors in the differential diagnosis of a prostatic mass and the proper evaluation of musculoskeletal tumors are emphasized.
