Abstract
Osteochondromas are the most commonly seen benign bone tumor, usu- ally originating from metaphyses of long bones. They are rarely located in the vertebral column, and if seen, they are usually located in the cervi- cal vertebrae. Diagnosis of an osteochondroma originating from spinous process of T9 vertebrae was established in a 9-year-old female patient pre- senting with pain and swelling at the thoracic region after physical exami- nation and radiological studies. Patient was treated by en bloc resection, and diagnosis was confirmed after histopathological examination. The patient was asymptomatic at the 1-year follow-up, and there was no recur- rence of the lesion.

Özet
Osteokondromlar en sık görülen iyi huylu kemik tümörleri olup, genellikle uzun kemiklerin metafizlerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Vertebralar çok na-dir lokalizasyon yeri olup en sık servikal vertebralarda görülmektedir. Sırt-ta şişlik ve ağrı şikayeti ile başvuran 9 yaşındaki kız hastada,yapılan fizik muayene ve radyolojik incelemeler neticesinde T9 vertebra spinöz çıkın-tıdan kaynaklanan osteokondrom ön tanısı konuldu.Cerrahi tedavi olarak enblok rezeksiyon uyguladığımız hastada, histopatolojik inceleme netice-sinde osteokondrom tanısı doğrulandı.Hasta, 1. yılında yapılan kontrol-lerinde asemptomatik idi ve nüks saptanmadı.Bu çalışmadaki amacımız, literatürü değerlendirdiğimizde oldukça nadir görülen torasik vertebra spinöz çıkıntıdan kaynaklanan osteokondrom olgusunu sunmaktır
