Abstract
The patient was a 27-year-old woman who was being evaluated by a physical therapist 1 month following a right Achilles tendon repair. She reported the presence of a painful firm mass in her left hip that she first noticed approximately 6 months prior. As an initial assessment of the mass, the physical therapist ordered radiographs of the left hip, which revealed a mass projecting off the left lateral iliac bone. The radiologist recommended contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for further characterization, which revealed a large lobulated mass that was consistent with an osteochondroma.
