Solitary osteochondroma causing popliteal pseudoaneurysm that presented as a mass lesion

Diagn Interv Radiol. 2007 Dec;13(4):190-2.

Abstract

Osteochondromas are the most frequently occurring bone tumors and can rarely lead to vascular complications. A 14-year-old boy with solitary exostosis of the right femur presented with a mass lesion at the posterior aspect of the thigh. Radiological studies demonstrated a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. In this case report, radiological findings of this lesion are reviewed.
