    Abstract:
    Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. It usually affects the metaphyses of the long bones, in particular around the knee and the proximal humerus. It very rarely affects the pubic symphysis, usually with an atypical symptomatology. We here report the case of a 35-year old man in whom osteochondroma in the pubic symphysis encroaching on the iliopubic branch was fortuitously discovered. Radiological examinations as well as macroscopic and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis and the absence of signs of malignancy. L'ostéochondrome est la tumeur osseuse bénigne la plus fréquente. Elle touche habituellement les métaphyses des os longs, particulièrement autour du genou et de l'humérus proximal. Il touche très rarement la symphyse pubienne avec fréquemment une symptomatologie atypique. Nous rapportons le cas d'un ostéochondrome de la symphyse pubienne empiétant sur la branche osseuse ilio-pubienne chez un homme de 35 ans, de découverte fortuite. Les explorations radiologiques, l'examen macroscopique et histologique confirment le diagnostic ainsi que l'absence de signe de malignité.
