“…The presence of an exostosis on an arterial route is a permanent danger that may cause vascular compression or pseudoaneurysma [4] [6] [7], this risk will always be confirmed by clinical and radiological data necessary to put the surgical indication to prevent these vascular complications [4] [6].…”

“…Exostoses are osteochondral growths, they occur most often on the surface of the metaphyseal region of long bones as reported elsewhere [1] [2]. The exostoses can also cause rare vascular complications often arterial (pseudoaneurysm, arterial compression or rupture, arterial thrombosis) and venous more rarely [6] [7]. The arterial pseudoaneurysm is the most common vascular complication especially in his popliteal location .…”

The osteogenic exostosis or osteochondroma usually reveals a tumor siting preferably in the knee area. Vascular complications exostoses are known and exceptional even if the frequency of these tumors is important, and we related a case report about a young man of 23 years old who suffers from a mass filling the popliteal area of the left knee, projecting on the popliteal pedicle. We proceed to the excision of the entire lesion. The arterial pseudoaneurysm is the most common vascular complication of exostosis especially in his popliteal location. MRI angiography is necessary, to mentioned osteochondroma aspect, the rule is: any painful exostosis must be removed because the risks of degeneration are real but rare.

“…To date, multiple studies have looked at vascular complications from osteochondromas, including intermittent compression, pseudoaneurysm, thrombosis, distal emboli, and venous thrombosis or compression. 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 Enlargement of the osteochondroma can lead to compression of the vascular structures, leading to arterial or venous thrombus with subsequent distal embolization. Eschelman et al 7 found that 68% of vascular injuries were pseudoaneurysms secondary to what has been proposed as the osteochondroma's cartilaginous cap ossifying and then the pulsatile nature of the artery rubbing against it, causing damage.…”

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare cause of peripheral vascular disease, often affecting young adults. Multiple studies have shown that osteochondromas can cause vascular injury. Intermittent compression, pseudoaneurysm, thrombosis, distal embolism, and venous thrombosis have all been described as possible complications. Here we present a case of popliteal arterial entrapment type IV with an associated tibial osteochondroma.

“…As complicações arteriais são as mais comuns, com incidência de 91% 7 . Os vasos poplíteos são os mais envolvidos, devido à maior incidência do tumor nos membros inferiores (fêmur, tíbia e fíbula) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . O pseudoaneurisma é a lesão arterial mais comumente descrita, em 64% dos casos.…”

Complicação vascular de osteocondroma: relato de caso

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Osteocondromas ou exostoses são os tumores benignos mais comuns do tecido ósseo. Eles surgem durante o período de crescimento e, raramente, são responsáveis por complicações vasculares. No presente relato, reportamos um caso de paciente com osteocondroma no membro inferior e complicação vascular provocada pela compressão da artéria poplítea. O paciente apresentava queixas de dor em membro inferior direito quando foi investigado com angiografia e radiografia, que identificaram a lesão vascular e a tumoração óssea. Os tratamentos cirúrgicos simultâneos de ambas as lesões foram realizados com boa evolução pós-operatória.
