Unique ID: D015831
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015831
Annotation: solitary; note OSTEOCHONDROMAS, MULTIPLE see EXOSTOSES, MULTIPLE HEREDITARY is available; coordinate with BONE NEOPLASMS or specific precoordinated bone/neoplasm term or specific bone + BONE NEOPLASMS
Scope Note: A cartilage-capped benign tumor that often appears as a stalk on the surface of bone. It is probably a developmental malformation rather than a true neoplasm and is usually found in the metaphysis of the distal femur, proximal tibia, or proximal humerus. Osteochondroma is the most common of benign bone tumors.
