Behind The Façade: Robotic-Assisted Resection of a Diaphragmatic Osteochondroma

Abstract Neoplasms arising from the diaphragms are not typically seen in clinical practise, though they may inflict significant morbidity and mortality. In the realm of thoracic surgery, osteochondromas are only encountered at the thoracic wall or vertebra. We herein, describe the first ever case of an osteochondroma arising from the diaphragm masquerading as a malignant lesion. The tumour was resected via the robotic-assisted means and the patient was discharged with no complications.
