  • Title: Osteochondroma of the Hyoid Bone: A Previously Unrecognized Location and Review of the Literature.
    Author: Torous VF, Su A, Sepahdari AR, Abemayor E, Dry SM.
    Journal: Head Neck Pathol; 2015 Dec; 9(4):453-7. PubMed ID: 25924701.
    Abstract:
    Osteochondroma is a benign cartilaginous neoplasm and the most common benign tumor of bone. Osteochondromas occur primarily in the axial skeleton with a predilection for the distal femur, and relatively few cases occur in the head and neck region. The majority of cases of osteochondromas in the head and neck region affect the mandibular condyle, with fewer cases reported in the skull base and the neck. To our knowledge, there is no reported case of osteochondroma of the hyoid bone documented in the English literature. We thus report the first case of a hyoid bone osteochondroma, presenting as an asymptomatic mass in a young woman.
