A solitary osteochondroma in the lesser trochanter is an exceedingly rare occurrence. The nature of osteochondromas as benign osteocartilaginous tumours is typically regarded as a developmental anomaly rather than a neoplastic condition. Patients afflicted with this condition may experience a range of symptoms dependent upon the size of the tumour, with limited range of motion being a common manifestation. The present case study pertains to a distinctive instance of a benign solitary osteochondroma of the lesser trochanter, which was diagnosed and treated through an excisional biopsy using a Hardinge approach.
