Abstract
vascular complications of humeral osteochondromas are extremely rare .We describe a rare case of 16 year old boy who
presented to orthopedic OPD with complaints of swelling,which on radiological workup revealed sessile
osteochondroma with pseudoaneurysm of brachial artery .The diagnosis was based on systematic analyses of plain
radiograph of arm,ultrasound,computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,as well as local clinical status in
form of a pulsating soft tissue mass.This case demonstrates that for all cases of large osteochondromas ,neurovascular
complications are to be looked for,even in unusual locations.
