These tumors are usually asymptomatic and show clinical symptoms as a result of trauma and pressure from the surrounding muscles, joints, nerves, and blood vessels. Treatment from this tumor varies from patient to patient. In this case report, we describe 3 cases of osteochondroma around knee. The cases were boys 17 years old, 15 years old, and 38 years old patient. The diagnose was confirmed by imaging such as plain radiography and histology. All three patients were treated with arthroscopic marginal excision of knee.
