Osteochondroma of the scapula associated with winging and large bursa formation.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of scapular osteochondroma associated with pain and winging that is rarely reported in the medical literature.
A 19-year-old male presented with pain and winging of the right scapula. CT scan revealed an osteochondroma of the medial border of the scapula with a large bursa between the chest wall and the tumour. Excision of the tumour relieved the symptoms. Pathological study showed osteochondroma of the scapula. In a follow-up 1 year later he was free of pain with no clinical or radiological sign of recurrence.


CONCLUSIONS
A case of scapular osteochondroma associated with pain and winging treated by excision and follow-up showed no sign of clinical or radiological recurrence.
