Navicular osteochondroma in children

Abstract

Osteochondroma of the navicular bone is a rare entity in the literature; it is often asymptomatic. A standard X-ray can make the diagnosis. The CT or rather MRI gives more details of this tumor and its relationship with the other elements of the entourage. Our case is the 2nd described in the literature. A complete resection of the tumor with its cartilaginous cap was made. The follow-up was favorable.
