Para-articular extraskeletal osteochondroma: the nomenclature dilemma and difficulties in differential diagnosis

Abstract

We read with interest the article published at your journal in Vol 42, No 2 (2012) titled ‘‘Large para-articular osteochondroma of the knee: a case report’’ written by Mr Roop Singh et al.[1] We have a couple of minor contributions to this article. The authors stated at the introduction section that ‘‘Para-articular osteochondroma compromises a small subgroup of these extraskeletal osteochondroma that commonly affect the knee joint, with a few involving the hip, ankle and elbow’’.[1] However there is no consensus in the literature about the nomenclature of this disease.
