•The image is of two surfaces of an
osteochondroma.
•To the left is the
exterior surface; to the right is the
cut surface.
•The tumor manifests two components.
•The whiter part (best seen on the cut
surface (white arrow) is the cartilagenous
"cap".
•The darker portion is the bone with
marrow spaces, accounting for the
dark red-brown color.
