Özet
Neurological complications such as spinal cord compression has rarely been reported both in the solitary type of osteochondroma or in multiple osteochondromas. We report a a 65-year-old patient with a thoracic osteochondroma involving the neural arch of T6, and the corresponding rib, who was followed-up for 5 years. Approximately 3 years after partial surgical removal, the lesion manifested as a dumbbell mass passing through the neural foramen leading to cord compression, and a hemilaminectomy was performed with subtotal tumor excision. A clinical follow-up 2 years later revealed normal findings. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
