Parosteal lipoma is a rare type of lipoma, the incidence being approximately 0.3% of all lipomas. Moreover, parosteal lipoma coexisting with osteochondroma is extremely rare. A few cases with coexistence of osteochondroma and parosteal lipoma have been reported and they were thought to be reactive changes of adjacent bone by parosteal lipoma. However, temporal relationship of these tumors could not be explained. Here, we report a case of parosteal lipoma associated with osteochondroma of the right ilium developed over 6 years, with follow-up radiographs.

Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma of mesenchymal cell origin, which shows smooth muscle differentiation. Leiomyosarcoma is seldom found in the pediatric population, and accounts for fewer than 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall is extremely rare in children. We report here a case of an 8-year-old boy with a primary leiomyosarcoma that was incidentally found as a rib mass. The patient underwent a complete resection for a suspected osteochondroma diagnosed by a three-dimensional chest computed tomography examination. Pathological findings of the mass revealed intersecting fascicles of spindle cells showing cigar-shaped nuclei, inconspicuous nuclear pleomorphism and occasional mitotic figures in the background of a suspected osteochondroma of the rib. This report documents the first description of a leiomyosarcoma possibly arising in an osteochondroma of the rib in a child.

Conventional osteochondroma is common bone lesion usually originated near the end of a long bone. But intra-articular osteochondromas are very rare and have been reported less than a dozen cases. The authors experienced two cases of intra-articular osteochondroma of the knee joint. Histology as well as gross finding were consistent with osteochondroma. The tumor was excised surgically, and symptoms were relieved.

Osteochondromadevelop most commonly at distal femur, proximal humerus and proximal tibia, but the rib osteochondroma was reported less commonly. In this report, scapular snapping syndrome complicated by adventitious bursa and soft tissue pseudotumor surrounding the osteochondroma of the $6^{th}$ rib body was treated successfully by surgical excision of them. We report this rare case with reviewing the relevant literature.

Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor in bone, consist of 40%, but, rare in spine area occupying only 2%. We report a case of osteochondroma that was in the 5th and 6th spinous process of cervical spine. We performed en bloc excisional biopsy of the bony mass. And the patient is doing well without evidence of local recurrence at 1 year after surgery. Further follow-up is necessary to observe local recurrence.

Spontaneous hemothorax vary in cause and are rare for hemothorax induced osteochondroma. Sometimes hemothroax is reported due to osteochondroma induced injury of diaphragm, lung, pericardium, heart, or pleura. We report a patient with diaphragm laceration due to osteochondroma.

Osteochondroma is rarely reported in the maxillofacial region; however, it is prevalent in the mandibular condyle. This slowly growing tumor may lead to malocclusion and facial asymmetry. A 39-year-old woman complained of gradual development of anterior and posterior unilateral crossbite, which resulted in facial asymmetry. A radiological study disclosed a large tumor mass on the top of the left mandibular condyle. This bony tumor was surgically removed through condylectomy and the remaining condyle head was secured. Subsequently, bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was performed to correct facial asymmetry and malocclusion. Pathological diagnosis was osteochondroma; immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor exhibited a conspicuous expression of BMP-4 and BMP-2 but rarely expression of PCNA. There was no recurrence at least for 1 year after the operation. Patient's functional and esthetic rehabilitation was uneventful.

Osteochondroma arising around the knee joint may sometimes be associated with vascular complication. Angiography is widely used to demonstrate the vascular complication, but it is invasive. Recently MR angiography is recommended as a non-invasive alternative, but it is very costly. We report a twenty-year-old man with popliteal arterial compression caused by osteochondroma who was diagnosed and assessed the surgical result by Doppler ultrasonography. And we also provide the usefulness of Doppler ultrasonography.

Although osteochondroma is not rare in the axial skeleton and long bones, it is very rare in the jaw. It is a benign chondroma within which partial endochondral ossification occurs. There are two types, the central one and the peripheral one. Peripheral type is more common than central one in the jaw, but it is not frequent. Especially it is rare at the mandibular condyle. When it occurred at the mandibular condyle, it is generally located at the lateral portion of the condyle. In that case, facial asymmetry with occlusal change is the characteristic clinical feature. But it is similar to condylar hyperplasia so that misdiagnosis can sometimes occur. The differential point is as follows: Hyperplasia generally appears as a generalized enlargement of the condylar process with a normal cortical thickness, but osteochondroma usually appears as a focal growth or mass. We report a very rare case of peripheral osteochondroma at the mandibular condyle in a 27-year- old male patient who visited DKUDH with a chief complaint of the facial asymmetry.

Although osteochondromas are common bone lesions, extraosseous osteochondromas are rare. The most common sites of involvement are the hand, knee, and foot. The authors experienced a case of soft tissue osteochondroma in the plantar aspect of the left foot. The patient complained of a palpable mass for 5 years. The mass grew slowly and had been asymptomatic until 5 months prior to admission when the patient developed slight pain on ambulation and numbness distal to the mid foot. Radiologic studies demonstrated well-circumscribed, lobulated, ossified mass in the plantar aspect of the mid foot. Histological examination confirmed a osteochondroma of soft tissue origin.
