Overview
If left untreated, patients with osteochondroma may progress to develop overlying bursitis, vascular compromise, and rise to malignant chondrosarcoma. Common complications of osteochondroma include fracture, osseous deformation, and growth arrest. Prognosis is generally regarded as good after surgical excision. The recurrence rate of osteochondroma is 2%.[1]
Natural History
- Most patients with osteochondroma are initially asymptomatic.
- If left untreated, most of the patients with osteochondroma will develop palpable lump, overlying bursitis and malignant transformation.[1]
Complications
- Common complications of osteochondroma include:
- Bone fracture
- Growth arrest
- Skeletal deformation
Prognosis
- Osteochondroma prognosis is generally regarded good after surgical excision.[2]
- The overall recurrence rate after resection is 2%.[1]
