Exostosis in Bangladesh
Exostosis, also known as osteoma, is the development of new bone on top of existing bone in a healthy way. It can manifest itself in a variety of ways in the body. An osteochondroma is a condition in which an exostosis is wrapped in cartilage.
Exostosis may be painless or painful enough to necessitate surgical removal. It is very common in childhood.
If the exostosis is serious and causing pain or psychological distress, a doctor may prescribe surgery to remove it.
