Abstract
Despite the high incidence, the natural biologic
behavior of the osteochondroma is not yet known. In particular,
the spontaneous regression of the exostosis is very rare and as
yet an undefined phenomenon. Since the first description by
Hunter in 1835, only 11 cases have been reported. On reviewing
the reports in the literature, all cases were regressed spontaneously
without significant mechanical stimuli such as surgical
procedures. The reasons for the spontaneous regression were not explained sufficiently. This study describes one additional
case of the spontaneous regression of osteochondromatosis
of the radius and ulna after change of the mechanical
strain or stress with lengthening of the ulna in a patient with
multiple hereditary exostosis. The radiographic findings in this
study are presented with some hypotheses explaining this interesting
phenomenon.
