A boy with hereditary exostoses developed knee swelling due to a pseudoaneurysm linked to an osteochondroma. This case highlights a rare complication of a common bone disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign bone tumors.
  • Complications of MHE typically involve mechanical issues, pain, and malignant transformation, but vascular complications are rare.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old male with a known family history of MHE presented with acute knee swelling.
  • Physical examination revealed a palpable mass and signs suggestive of vascular compromise.
  • Imaging studies confirmed the presence of an osteochondroma causing a pseudoaneurysm in the adjacent popliteal artery.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a rare but significant vascular complication of MHE.
  • Pseudoaneurysm formation secondary to osteochondroma is an unusual presentation requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

  • Surgical intervention was necessary to address the pseudoaneurysm and manage the underlying osteochondroma.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering vascular complications in patients with MHE, even in the absence of typical symptoms.
    • Early recognition and appropriate management of pseudoaneurysms associated with osteochondromas are crucial to prevent severe morbidity.
    • Further research into the mechanisms linking osteochondromas to vascular abnormalities may improve patient outcomes.
