title: Para-articular osteochondroma.
abstract: An unusual case of a para-articular osteochondroma in the vicinity of the knee is reported. Typical presentation and differential diagnosis of bone-forming lesions about the knee are discussed. Confirmed diagnosis should combine clinical presentation and appearance, laboratory data, radiographic evaluation, and possible biopsy of the lesion.
