Spontaneous resolution of proximal humerus sessile osteochondroma: A report of case and literature review
We report the case of a 3-year-old male who presented with left arm swelling and pain due to trauma while playing football. X-rays revealed a proximal humerus posterolateral sessile osteochondroma. After 6 months of observation, the boy tolerated activity and had no pain. Five years later, the osteochondroma was resolved spontaneously both clinically and radiologically. Our study suggests that annual observation of child patients with osteochondroma is more effective than surgical intervention due to the possibility of spontaneous resolution.
