Case report A 3‐year‐old Thoroughbred gelding was presented with a grade 3/5 lameness of the right forelimb and effusion of the extensor carpi radialis tendon sheath ( ECRTS ). Radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations revealed an osteochondroma on the cranial aspect of the distal radius projecting into the fibrous lining of the ECRTS . An open surgical approach was used to remove the osteochondroma and some of the proliferative synovial tissue. Conclusion Six months after surgery the clinical signs had resolved and the horse raced successfully.
