Specimen radiographs and histology. A pedunculated osteochondroma shown in a macroscopic whole mount section (A) and specimen radiograph (B); C, whole mount section of a sessile osteochondroma. Note the presence of a small cartilage cap in both osteochondromas (< 0.5 cm); D, radiograph of the forearm of a Multiple Osteochondroma patient. Several osteochondromas can be seen at the ends of the ulna and radius. Note that the ulna is shortened, which caused subsequent bowing of the radius; E and F, gross specimen and whole mount section of secondary peripheral chondrosarcoma. The cartilage cap is thicker than 2 cm and in the whole mount section the lobules are clearly visible.
