Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome secondary to a femoral osteochondroma.

Background: Osteochondromas (or exostoses) are the most common benign tumors of the bone. Vascular complications of these tumors are rare but have been increasingly reported in recent literature.

Aim: Throughout an unusual case report of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome secondary to a femoral osteochondroma, we highlight the necessity of thorough clinical and radiological examinations as well as meticulous and prompt surgical resection.
