Osteochondroma as an Unusual Cause of Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Occlusion

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bony tumour, usually occurring in the 2nd/3rd decade of life and generally asymptomatic. However, there have been reports of bony tumours causing arterial vascular injuries via erosion into vessel walls. We present a case of a 16-year-old M with no signific...

Description
Summary:Osteochondromas are the most common benign bony tumour, usually occurring in the 2nd/3rd decade of life and generally asymptomatic. However, there have been reports of bony tumours causing arterial vascular injuries via erosion into vessel walls. We present a case of a 16-year-old M with no significant past medical history who presented with acute-on-chronic Right Lower Extremity (RLE) pain and numbness who was found to have a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm and occlusion. We will discuss our initial work up, management, outcomes and follow up and compared our results with an English language literature search for comparable cases.
