Popliteal Pseudoaneurysm as a Rare Complication of a Solitary Tibial Osteochondroma

Osteochondromas are the most frequent benign bone tumours, seen in 1–2% of the population. Skeletal defects, neurological or vascular complications occur in 4% of osteochondromas. The case of a 14-year-old girl with a popliteal pseudoaneurysm was presented. We report our experience in the management of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm appearing as a result of popliteal artery wall injury caused by a tibial osteochondroma.
