Abstract
Osteochondromas or exostoses are the most common benign bone tumors. This is a case of a 16-year-old boy with multiple osteochondromatosis which caused the popliteal pseudoaneurysm and a subsequent distal embolism. Vascular complications, especially acute limb ischemia, caused by osteochondromas are very rare. This abnormality should be searched for when dealing with young patients with acute limb ischemia.Entities:
