Abstract
|
|
|
|
Osteochondroma is a hyperplasic bony lesion caused by subperiosteal displacement of physeal cartilages, and the most common benign bone tumor. Osteochondromas rarely cause vascular complications, but when encountered, acute ischemia, phlebitis, and arterial puncture are the most common. They are caused by the mass effect or by the sharp end of the tumor. Deep vein thrombosis may be caused by impaired venous blood flow or a hypercoagulable blood state, but sometimes no predisposing cause can be found. We experienced a patient with deep vein thrombosis caused by the mass effect of an asymptomatic osteochondroma, and treated him successfully by excising the osteochondroma and performing a saphenous vein graft after resecting obstructed vein.
