Summary:Osteochondroma is the relatively common bone tumor arising from the metaphysis of long bones. Osteochondroma arising from epiphysis of long bones are very rare. We report a case of a 67 year old man with history of right shoulder pain for past 5 years and difficulty in moving the arm for past 1 year. X-ray showed severe osteophytic changes and a subtle bony outgrowth from head of humerus. MRI showed cartilage capped bony outgrowth arising from the epiphysis of humerus. Medullary cavity of the lesion is seen communicating with the medullary cavity of bone consistent with osteochondroma. KEYWORDS: Osteochondroma, epiphysis, medullary bone, metaphysic, cartilage cap.
