Trevor’s disease, also known as dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, is an uncommon skeletal developmental disorder representing an osteochondroma occurring in one or more epiphyses. We present 2 cases of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica in an 8-year-old female and a 12-year-old male who suffered from a hard swelling of the ankle joint. The female patient was treated by surgical excision and the male patient conservatively. |
