Abstract: Jaffes famous book on tumors defines the solitary osteocartilaginous exostosis simply as a more or less cartilage-capped osseous projection. He went on to generalize in terms of sex, age and localization. Therefore, this paper considers its epidemiological data among the Ibo or Igbos, an ethnic group living in the South-Eastern Region of Nigeria. The world literature was also searched on a comparative basis. Thus, 2 cases were encountered locally, although a 1982 survey claimed that Tubular exostosis from the anterior iliac spine has not been reported in the literature.
