This report is of a 20-year-old woman with an osteochondroma of the proximal fibula with scalloping of tibia who presented with chronic pain and swelling in the right popliteal fossa that had been present from 3 years.Magnetic resonance imaging findings can't enable accurate diagnosis because of the similarities between osteochondroma and low-grade chondrosarcoma.Thus, biopsy of this tumor was necessary.Extemporaneous Histopathological examination confirmed the benign nature of osteochondroma, thus, we performed debulking of the tumour with complete excision.
