Osteochondroma post osteomyelitis.
We report a case of radial metaphyseal osteochondroma secondary to osteomyelitis in a premature baby of 28 weeks. This is the second case with these characteristics that has been described in the literature. A possible pathogenesis is related to trauma during drainage of the abscess or following the associated inflammatory process.
