A 46 year old male presented with ? painful non mobile, bony hard swelling of lower end of Right femur of 20 years duration. The swelling was present since 20 years with progressive increase in size of the swelling and pain on knee movements since last 1 year. Clinical examination revealed a bony hard swelling arising from anteromedial aspect of lower end of femur away from the knee joint. The swelling was painful on knee flexion of more than 90 degrees. Range of motion of knee 0 to 120 degree. X Rays revealed aexostosis arising from lower end of femur with a fungating mass at the cartilaginous cap abutting the skin. A diagnosis of exostoses lower end femur with possible malignant transformation was made. In view of sudden increase in size of the lesion and associated pain on knee movements, and mechanical obstruction Patient underwent surgical excision of the exostoses .Histopathology revealed osteochondroma& no malignant transformation.
