Abstrakt: Osteochondroma or exostosis is the most frequent bone tumour which appears in adolescence and rarely can be responsible for vascular complications. It may present with thrombosis, embolism, arteriovenous fistulae, or the development of pseudo aneurysms. We report a case of a patient with multiple osteochondromas complicated by development of pseudo aneurysm. A simultaneous surgical treatment of both lesions was performed with favourable post operative outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
