Abstract
In brief Osteochondroma can masquerade as a variety of more common soft-tissue overuse disorders. This case involves a 28-year-old runner who reported significant buttock pain. Deep palpation suggested a growth on his ischial tuberosity, and x-rays and CT indicated an osteochondroma. Many patients who have osteochondromas are asymptomatic and therefore require no treatment; however, complete excision relieved this patient's pain. Ruling out malignant transformation is sometimes necessary.
