Resumen:
Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumours. Nevertheless, their origin and biological behaviour are poorly understood. Rarely, spontaneous regression of osteochondromas may occur. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with a solitary osteochondroma of the femur that regressed almost completely within 4 years, a fact that should be taken into account when deciding the management of these lesions, especially in young children.
