Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation (Nora Lesion): A Narrative Review

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), or Nora lesion, is a rare proliferative disease arising from the parosteal region of bones. Although BPOP's pathogenesis is still not certain, modern literature suggests it to be a tumor-like lesion or even a benign neoplasm. Due to the extremely low incidence, to this date studies on the topic are limited to case reports and a few case series. This narrative review aims to resume literature on BPOP and provide an overview of its natural history, morphologic characteristics and prognostic horizon.
