Overview
Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor among general population. The incidence of osteochondroma is approximately 0.9 per 100,000 individuals in the general population. The incidence of osteochondroma decreases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 10 to 13 years. Males and females are equally affected with osteochondroma. Osteochondroma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.
