| Summary: | Most common benign tumors in orthopedic outdoor clinics seem to be
osteochondroma/exostosis which are around 20-50% of all benign bony lesions. Flat
bones like iliac blade, scapula, ribs and clavicle which develop from intra-membranous
ossification are rarely involved.
A28 year old female from rural area presented to orthopedic outdoor clinic with pain
and swelling around the inguinal region on right side for past 18 months and diagnosis
was made after incisional biopsy. Iliac blade is a rare site for presentation and the patient
had no neurovascular compression or mass effect on surrounding structures.
Osteochondromas of flat bones are rarely encountered, therefore, proper diagnosis
should be made and other differential diagnoses should be considered during
evaluation of mass around the pelvic girdle.
