title: A multilobed osteochondroma of the hamate: case report.
abstract: Osteochondromas arising from the carpal bones are unusual, and when they occur they usually arise from the scaphoid. We report a case of a single, multilobed osteochondroma arising from the hamate that was successfully excised, with no evidence of recurrence at 4-year follow-up.
