Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous resolution of a congenital osteochondroma in a child with metachondromatosis. We could find no reports of congenital or neonatal osteochondromas. Furthermore, reports of spontaneous resolution of osteochondromas are rare. We conclude that some of these radiologically benign lesions may be observed in very young patients.
