The word “tumor” makes us think of something scary or harmful. However, not all tumors are harmful. In fact, many tumors are benign, meaning they are non-cancerous and generally do not pose serious health risks. One such category is benign bone tumors. Although they can vary in size and location, they generally do not spread or cause significant harm to surrounding tissues. Among the different types of benign bone tumors, osteochondroma is the most common.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osteochondroma arises in people less than 30 years old. They affect males more often than females and are often triggered by hormones that stimulate growth. They represent 20\u201350% of benign tumors and 10\u201315% of all tumors in general.<\/span><\/p>\n
