Abstract
Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour, but its occurrence in the dorsal scapula is rare. we report a case of17 year old girl who presented with painless, progressively enlarging bony swelling over dorsal scapula. Imaging confirmed an exophytic lesion arising from scapula. Due to mechanical discomfort and cosmetic concern, lesion was surgically excised. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis without malignant transformation.
