Solitary Metacarpal Osteochondroma; an Unusual Location

Abstract

Although, osteochondroma is the most common bone tumor, metacarpal involvement is quite uncommon and usually accompanies multiple hereditary exostoses. Herein, we described a patient with solitary ostechondroma of the fourth metacarpal bone, and discussed the differential diagnosis of bony spurs that can be seen in hand.
