Abstract

Extra‑articular synovial osteochondromatosis is a rare disease. The present study describes the case of a 46‑year‑old female who suffered from extra‑articular synovial osteochondromatosis of the left proximal thigh with limited hip movement. The patient underwent a total tumor resection and recovered well. The tumor was 15x14x5 cm³ in size and located in the muscle gap. After a 3‑month follow‑up, the patient's left hip motion was improved and a computed tomography scan demonstrated no evidence of recurrence. However, the long‑term efficacy of this procedure requires continuous observation of the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a giant extra‑articular synovial osteochondromatosis of the proximal thigh muscle gap.
