Abstract

As definition, a "kissing" osteochondroma is a typical new bony formation with erosion on the adjacent paired bone, provoked by pressure of the outgrowth. Further diagnostics for incidentally diagnosed solitary osteochondroma should be performed only in cases where malignant transformation is suspected.
