Exostoses
Overview
Exostoses are abnormal bone growths on the surface of a pre-existing bone caused by having too much calcium in the body. They can cause constant, long-lasting pain ranging from mild to severe, depending on the shape, size, and location of the growth. They normally form on the joints of bones such as the ankle or knee and can grow outward toward the skin. Exostoses are typically noncancerous, but can become cancerous in some instances. Exostoses are usually treated by surgically removing the growth.
