Hereditary multiple exostoses is an autosomal dominant genetic condition primarily affecting long bones. Forearm deformities, including wrist ulnar deviation, ulnar shortening, radial or ulnar bowing, and radial head dislocation, are common manifestations. Gradual ulnar lengthening is suggested as a viable treatment option for managing these deformities.

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.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder primarily linked with mutations in Exostosin-1 (EXT1) and Exostosin-2 (EXT2) genes. However, not all HME cases can be explained by these mutations, and its pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. Herein, utilizing whole-exome sequencing and genetic screening with a family trio design, we identify two novel rare mutations co-segregating with HME in a Chinese family, including a nonsense mutation (c.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a genetic disorder defined by the formation of benign bone tumors known as exostoses, which can lead to chronic pain and functional impairment. This case report details a 57-year-old man with a long-standing history of severe diffuse bone pain attributed to HME. Despite various treatments, his pain remained poorly controlled until an intrathecal pump with fentanyl was implanted.

In this article, we report the case of an 8-year-old child with multiple hereditary exostoses, revealed by the rapid and painful growth of bone deformities in the right leg. After performing a CT scan, multiple exostoses were observed in the pelvic region and both lower limbs. Notably, the exostosis in the right fibula was larger and exhibited a thickened cartilaginous cap.
