Abstract
This study describes a left femur bone which was found with multiple exostoses. Both the upper and lower ends of the bone had multiple exostoses. Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) is one of the most common benign bone tumors. It commonly involves long bones, affecting their normal growth. Generally doesn’t need any treatment. However in some cases it may compress upon nerves or blood vessels demanding treatment. It may also produce bone deformities, shortened stature, limb length discrepancies, decreased range of movements, impaired function and premature osteoarthritis. Rare cases of malignant transformation have been reported. The knowledge of exostoses is important for a clinician as it may resemble other medical conditions with similar symptoms.
