Two cases of bursa formation in association with osteochondromas are presented. This condition may be confused radiographically and clinically with malignant transformation of the cartilage cap. Ultrasound examination on one of the patients proved helpful in arriving at the correct preoperative diagnosis. Ultrasonography was also helpful to the surgeon with regard to size and extent of the bursa.
