Spinal osteochondromas as solitary lesions are rare tumours of a maturing adolescent skeleton. The authors treated a 75-year-old man for low back pain and neurogenic claudication. Symptoms were attributed to a tumorous expansion originating from the spinous process and right lamina of L3 and expanding into the spinal canal and adjacent facet joints. The patient underwent marginal resection of the tumour together with transpedicular stabilization of the segment, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma. The patient remains without any complaint and there are no signs of local recurrence of the tumour 4 years after the surgery. The cases of osteochondroma in an aged spine published in the literature and pertinent aspects of this extremely rare condition are discussed.

Keywords: spinal tumors, osteochondroma
