It typically occurs in the femur (thighbone) or tibia (shin). Usually, exostosis is noncancerous and involves bones that develop from cartilage, including those found in the ear. About 90 percent of all bone tumors are cases of exostosis, which affects twice as many men as women. Treatment is rarely necessary, except when the bony growth is unsightly or pressing on a nerve.A benign cartilaginous outgrowth from a bone.An outgrowth from a bone: it may be due to chronic inflammation, constant pressure or tension on the bone, or tumour-formation.A bony growth that arises from the surface of a bone, often involving the ossification of muscular attachments.Exostosis refers to the development of a bony growth or lump on the outer surface of a bone, typically caused by an accumulation of excess calcium. These growths, known as exostoses, frequently occur near joints and have the potential to cause significant and persistent chronic pain."}
