Adventitious Bursitis Overlying an Osteochondroma of the Humerus Facing the Thoracic Wall

Adventitious Bursitis Overlying an Osteochondroma of the Humerus Facing the Thoracic Wall

One of the complications of osteochondromas is the development of a bursa over the cartilaginous cap. We report a 15-year-old boy with a rapidly expanded adventitious bursitis overlying an osteochondroma of the humerus facing the thoracic wall, a location not previously reported for such bursa forma...
