Abstract
A case of pathologically proven extraskeletal osteochondroma is presented w ith magnetic resonance imaging (MRT), computed tomography (CT), bone scan a nd radiographic findings. The diagnosis of extraskeletal osteochondroma sho uld be considered when a discrete, ossified mass is localized in the soft t issues of the distal extremities. Nomenclature surrounding this entity is c ontroversial and is discussed.
