Osteochondroma or bony exostosis is a common benign
tumor of bone occurring predominantly in long bones. It may
arise infrequently from the spine giving rise to vague symptoms
as backache or may lead to compressive myelopathy due to cord
compression. Malignant transformation is noted in very few cases
of solitary osteochondroma. The authors are presenting a rare
case of solitary osteochondroma arising from thoracic spine
presenting as backache during sleep in supine posture in a young
patient.
