Abstract
Exostoses, or osteochondromas are benign bone tumors that have developed on the bone surface. These benign tumors can be asymptomatic or lead to complications, for instance arterial pseudoaneurysm. We report a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery treated surgically in a 17-year-old girl with a solitary exostosis of the right femur. Surgery was closure of the pseudoaneurysm and a bypass using a venous graft.
