Case Details

Disease Location

Broad-based exophytic bone lesion in distal femur with continuity in medullary capillary

Personal Characteristics

12-year-old male

Clinical Characteristics

Mr image displayed dark signal-intensity lesion posterior to skeletal stalk, with pulsation artifacts MRI revealed partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm with pulsation artifacts doppler sonography examination CT angiography

Remission Characteristics

Follow-up radiograph displayed stalk disappearance, but also development of soft tissue mass in sital thigh

Treatment & Mechanisms

Proposed Remission Mechanisms

Osteochondroma is proposed to have initially reduced pseudoaneurysm, whose enlargement induced pressure erosion in the original tumor

Clinical Treatment

Anti-inflammatory drugs surgical removal of pseudoaneurysm autologous venal patch angioplasty
