Osteochondroma of the Pubic Symphysis: Unusual Location

View through CrossRef
We report the case of a left pubic osteochondroma in a 55-year-old man, without any particular pathological history, which revealed itself as a painful left laterotesticular induration. This induration increased in volume and bothered the patient during daily activities. The CT scan was in favor of a left pedunculated pubic osteochondroma pushing back the spermatic cord. Surgical resection of the tumor confirmed the diagnosis of an osteochondroma.
