En masse excision of right scapular angle exostosis in a 7-year-old male: A case report
Author(s): Yash Shekhar Jadhav and Arvind Rathod
Abstract: Introduction: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour; scapular angle involvement is rare. We describe a case in a child where CT imaging confirmed diagnosis and en masse excision was performed.
Case Presentation: A 7?year?old male presented with a year’s history of swelling over the inferior angle of the right scapula, resulting in cosmetic prominence and restricted shoulder elevation. Clinical exam found a hard, non?tender mass; radiographs showed a pedunculated bony lesion; CT scan confirmed its extent and anatomical relations. The lesion was excised en masse, including the cartilaginous cap. Histopathology confirmed osteochondroma without malignant changes.
Conclusion: Complete surgical excision of scapular exostosis, when confirmed by imaging including CT, yields excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes in pediatric patients. Early diagnosis and thorough imaging are important to plan safe excision and avoid recurrence.
