Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor that often occurs during bone growth. To diagnose osteochondroma, in addition to clinical examination and medical history, the doctor may prescribe many imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT scan, MRI, etc.

Benign tumors are a common condition and can happen to anyone, including men and women. However, unlike melanoma, they usually do not cause cancer or invade other areas of the body. Treatment options for a benign tumor will depend on the extent of the tumor and its location in the body.
