Abstract

Osteochondromas are most frequently seen benign bone tumors. Typically, they are seen around the knee but not in the popliteal region. In this article, we present an osteochondroma case which localize extraarticular and proximal-posterior region of tibia at the inferior of popliteal region. Different etiologies have to be considered when evaluating a painful popliteal region. (JAREM 2014; 4: 128-31)
