STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review of spinal exostoses treated at our institution and literature review. OBJECTIVES Review of 12 cases of spinal exostoses treated at our institution compared with 165 cases of spinal exostoses reported in the literature. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Spinal exostoses are uncommon. Most reports consist of 1 to 3 cases. The relationship between solitary exostoses ...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and location of oral exostoses and the concurrence of buccal and palatal exostoses with tori. STUDY DESIGN With clinical inspection and palpation, 960 Thais were examined for the presence or absence of torus palatinus (TP), torus mandibularis (TM), and exostoses. RESULTS Of the 960 subjects studied, 26.9% exhibited exostos...

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors. Usually solitary, multiple osteochondromas (exostoses) are seen in patients with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE). Chondromatous transformation of lumbar osteochondroma in a patient with multiple exostoses is a rare phenomenon. We present a rare case of secondary chondrosarcoma of lumbar exostoses with patient presenting with symptoms o...

Exostoses of the caudal perimeter of the distal radius resulting in lameness accompanied by intermittent effusion of the carpal synovial sheath have been described. Such exostoses are categorized as either solitary osteochondromas, which are typically located 2–4 cm proximal to the physeal scar, or physeal remnant spikes, which originate directly over the physeal scar. Osteochondromas typically...

Exostoses on the mandible and maxilla is a frequently observed bone growth of controversial aetiology. The aim of this study is to analyse environmental factors that may stimulate the formation of exostoses on different regions of the maxilla and mandible. Sixty-six well-preserved crania from Neolithic China were studied for the presence of buccal exostoses on the maxilla (BE) and lingual exost...

We report on a 13-year-old boy who presented with multiple hereditary exostosis and had development of back pain, associated with neurological deficits, and was found to have exostoses in the spinal canal. Spine radiograph showed a cauliflower-like abnormality of multiple exostoses of the posterior arch (pedicle) of the thoracic vertebrae (T3-5). Reformatted CT scanning revealed the simultaneou...

coexisting ankylosing spondylitis and hereditary multiple exostoses have rarely been reported (three patients) previously. a 27-year-old man with hereditary multiple exostoses is presented as a fourth report. at the age of 15 years, the patient had multiple exostoses around the knee, ankle and shoulder joints. he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis 3 years ago. the patient’s sister and hi...

An incidental post-mortem finding is reported. Its clinical relevance is discussed. It is suggested that some EAC exostoses may have a similar origin and thus an association with IAC exostoses.
