  • Title: Solitary osteochondroma of the lumbar spine with cord compression: a case report.
    Author: Lee PC, Chen WJ, Tu YK, Chen LH.
    Journal: Changgeng Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1998 Jun; 21(2):227-31. PubMed ID: 9729661.
    Abstract:
    Solitary osteochondromas are usually of little significance. However, if they are located near neurologic structures, they may cause irritation due to compression. Spinal cord compression is a rare but potentially catastrophic manifestation of solitary osteochondromas. As far as can be ascertained, a solitary osteochondroma in the lumbar region with spinal cord compression has not been reported in Taiwan. This article includes the treatment of an 11-year-old girl with osteochondromas which was complicated by the late development of kyphoscoliosis and a review of the literature.
