title: Multiple osteocartilaginous exostoses of the lower extremity: a case report.
abstract: An osteochrondoma is a benign osseous tumor capped by cartilage. Osteochondromas occurring at the distal tibia and fibula are uncommon and even more so when occurring at the first metatarsal head. Osteochondromas usually occur at the metaphysis of long bones; however, they can occur at other cortical bone metaphyses. This is a case report of a 54-year-old male with incidental radiographic findings of multiple osteochondromas around his ankles as well as a solitary osteochondromatous lesion growing proximally off the left first metatarsal head. The multiple osteochrondomas were evident on multiple views, and subsequent histological analysis of the solitary osteochondromatous lesion via total surgical excision confirmed a diagnosis of multiple hereditary osteochrondromatosis.
