Abstract

Osteochondroma is the most frequent bone tumor and can be responsible for vascular complications. The case of an 14-year-old boy with a popliteal pseudoaneurysm after a blunt trauma is presented. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition is discussed, and the English-language literature is reviewed. (J Vasc Surg 2003;37:669-71.)
