Background: Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas (HMO), previously known as Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE), is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple, benign, exostoses (osteochondromas) growing from the metaphyseal region of long bones as well as from the axial skeleton. Lesions originating from the lumbar spine region are rare, and are most common growing from the posterior element of the vertebrae. HMO associated osteochondromas are difficult to treat due to continuous and incontrollable growth of these lesions and a lifetime risk for malignant transformation.

Multiple osteochondromas (MOs) are inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner, with a penetrance of ~96 and 100% in female and male patients, respectively. Osteochondromas primarily involve the metaphyses and diaphyses of long bones, including the ribs. Osteoid osteomas account for ~3 and 11% of all bone tumors and benign bone tumors, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Sciatica can arise not only from low back issues but also from conditions in the hip and pelvic areas, especially during pregnancy or labor.
  • A 37-year-old woman experienced sciatica after labor, and despite initial treatment from a chiropractor, her symptoms worsened, leading to further imaging that revealed an osteochondroma.
