Osteochondroma is a common bone tumor but a rare tumor in the rib. It is often asymptomatic and observed incidentally. This is a case report of a 49-year-old woman with an osteochondroma mimicking a mediastinal mass in hereditary multiple exostoses. The chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed the bony density feature of the mass. Surgical excision confirmed that the lesion was an osteochondroma.

Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder manifested by the presence of multiple osteochondromas. Although the lesions are benign in nature, exostoses are often associated with characteristic progressive skeletal deformity and displaying clinical symptoms such as mechanical irritation or impingement. We present the successful arthroscopic resection in a 24-year-old HME male with impingement syndrome and long head tendon tear of the biceps caused by osteochondroma arising from the distal clavicle.

목적: 유전성 다발성 외골종 환자에서 상지에 발생한 외골종 병변의 분포와 이와 관련하여 상지의 축성 배열의 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년부터 2009년까지 유전성 다발성 외골종으로 진단받은 38명, 76예를 대상으로 하였다. 외골종 침범 수에 따라 Group A (2부위 이하), Group B (3부위 이상)로 분류하였으며, 각 그룹간 운반각 및 VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), 일상 활동의 제한 정도, 외관상 만족도를 비교 평가하였다. 결과: 외골종으로 진단받은 38명 환자 중 상지에 발생한 외골종은 23명, 43예에서 관찰되었다. 발생 부위로는 상완골 근위부 33예(30%), 척골 원위부 31예(28.2%), 요골 원위부 24예(21.8%) 이었다. Group A, B 각각 운반각은 $10.7^{\circ}$, $13.8^{\circ}$, VAS는 1.3점, 3.5점, 일상생활 능력의 제한은 8점 중 7.3점, 6.6점을 보였으며 외관상 만족한 경우는 13예, 10예였다. 결론: 유전성 다발성 외골종 환자 중 상지 변형은 65%에서 동반되었다. 침범 부위 수가 증가할 수록 운반각 및 VAS는 증가하였고, 일상생활 능력과 만족도는 감소하였다.

Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is characterized by the formation of osteochondromas throughout the entire body. Although the evidence regarding its pathogenesis is well understood, no curative treatment for the disorder is available. Patients can be treated symptomatically by surgical removal of painful osteochondromas. Unfortunately, some patients still suffer from severe pain, even after surgery. We report on a case concerning a 48-year-old woman with a history of MO who presented with persistent pain after surgical removal of a symptomatic osteochondroma of the left scapula and multiple symptomatic osteochondromas of the left foot and trochanteric region. Several interventions to reduce the pain did not have any lasting effect. Subsequently, she was treated with autologous fat grafting (AFG). After each session she was pain-free for at least one year and reported only partial recurrence of the pain. This is the first case report describing AFG for the treatment of pain after both surgical removal of an osteochondroma and symptomatic osteochondromas in a patient suffering MO with promising results. The treatment is more effective and clearly continues to remain active longer than injection therapy or pain medication. Future studies are necessary to confirm our results.
