Exostosis múltiple hereditaria presentación de caso / Multiple hereditary exostosis. Case report

RESUMEN La exostosis hereditaria múltiple es un trastorno autosómico dominante que se suele presentar en las dos primeras décadas de la vida. Caracterizada por el remodelado metafisaria alterado y crecimiento óseo asimétrico con acortamiento secundario de los huesos de las extremidades. Estas exostosis óseas rodeadas de cartílagos se hacen prominentes a las partes blandas, se diferencia de la enfermedad de Ollier en que esta última no es hereditaria. Se presentó el caso de una mujer de 36 años, que presentaba acortamiento de los miembros especialmente, cubito y radio, metacarpianos y metatarsianos. Su hijo de 18 años afectado también de dicha enfermedad presentaba una deformidad de Madelung asociada (acortamiento de cubito y radio con arqueamiento del radio) (AU).

ABSTRACT Multiple hereditary exostosis is an autosomal dominant disorder, usually found in the first two decades of life. It is characterized by the altered metaphyseal remodeling and asymmetric bone growth with a secondary shortening of extremities bones. These bone exostoses surrounded by cartilages become prominent to the soft parts, and are different from the Ollier disease because this last one is not hereditary. The authors present the case of a woman, aged 36 years, presenting a shortening of the members, especially ulna and radius, metacarpus and metatarsus. Her 18-years-old son was also affected by this disease, having an associated Madelug deformity (shortening of ulna and radius, and radius bowing) (AU).

ABSTRACT Introduction: hereditary multiple osteochondromatosis, an autosomal dominant entity, characterized by the growth of multiple benign tumors called osteochondromas. Case presentation: 12-year-old female patient, who comes to the consultation referring to constant pain in the right knee, more accentuated with the gait. PHYSICAL exam SOMA: Increase of volume of right knee towards their outer and inner faces with pain to palpation, it palps hard mass, not movable, of irregular edges. Tumors of similar characteristics are also found in both shoulders and knees. Discussion: X-rays are performed, observing bone lesions in the proximal metaphysis of both humeruses to right predominance. Exostosis at the level of proximal and distal metaphysis of both femurs, in tibia and bilateral fibula. In the right knee, growth is observed towards the midline of the fibula tumor displacing the proximal metaphysis of the tibia in valgo. Conclusions: Multiple exostosis is raised as a diagnosis. Surgical treatment was performed tumor excision of the proximal end of the fibula of the right knee and the inner face of the proximal metaphysis of the tibia and biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis.

RESUMO Introdução: osteocondromatose múltipla hereditária, uma entidade autossômica dominante, caracterizada pelo crescimento de múltiplos tumores benignos chamados osteochondromas. Apresentação do caso: paciente do sexo feminino de 12 anos, que chega à consulta referindo-se a dores constantes no joelho direito, mais acentuadas com a marcha.

Concomitant neurogenic and vascular thoracic outlet syndrome due to multiple exostoses

We report a rare case of multiple hereditary exostosis where patient presented with bilateral base of neck exostoses with concurrent compression of brachial plexus and subclavian artery and vein. The patient was a young 26-year-old woman with chief complaints of pain in the left upper extremity, paresthesia in the left ring and little finger, and weakness in hand movement and grip. On referral, history, physical examination, radiological imaging, and electrodiagnostic tests evaluated the patient. Due to severe pain and disability in performing routine activities, surgical intervention was necessary. In the current case, the patient had thoracic outlet syndrome with concomitant venous, arterial, and neurogenic sub types. Radial pulse returned and pain associated with brachial plexus compression was resolved after the surgery.

Tumor de células gigantes de tibia proximal en osteocondromatosis múltiple / Tumeur à cellules géantes et ostéochondromatose multiple au niveau du tibia proximal / Giant cell tumor of proximal tibia in multiple osteochondromatosis

El evento de dos tumores óseos primarios en estrecha relación es raro. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con tumor óseo de células gigantes al mismo tiempo que osteocondromatosis múltiple en tibia proximal, lo que no ha sido reportado antes en la literatura. Aunque el reporte histopatológico confirma la coexistencia de las dos neoplasias en el mismo segmento anatómico con un componente aneurismático agregado, el reporte de genética no demostró una asociación necesaria entre las dos neoplasias. Se precisa una investigación más extensa para discernir la existencia de un trasfondo genético común(AU)

The event of closely two-primary bone tumors is rare. A case of a patient with bone giant cell tumor while multiple osteochondromatosis in proximal tibia occurs is presented here. It has not been reported before in literature. Although the pathology report confirms the coexistence of the two neoplasms in the same anatomical aneurysmal segment with added component, the report did not demonstrate a necessary genetic association between the two neoplasms. Further investigation is needed to discriminate the existence of a common genetic background(AU)

La survenue d'une tumeur osseuse primaire en étroite relation avec une autre est assez rare. Le cas d'un patient atteint d'une tumeur osseuse à cellules géantes et d'une ostéochondromatose multiple au niveau du tibia proximal est présenté. On n'a jamais rapporté rien de pareil dans la littérature. Quoique le rapport d'histopathologie confirme la localisation de deux néoplasies dans le même segment anatomique, avec un élément anévrismal ajouté, le rapport de génétique n'a pas démontré une relation entre ces deux tumeurs. Il faut une étude plus exhaustive pour déterminer une origine génétique commune(AU)

The First Korean Patient with Potocki-Shaffer Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Multiple Exostoses

Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS, OMIM #601224) is a rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome caused by haploinsufficiency of genes located on the 11p11.2p12. Affected individuals have a number of characteristic features including multiple exostoses, biparietal foramina, abnormalities of genitourinary system, hypotonia, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. We report here on the first Korean case of an 8-yr-old boy with PSS diagnosed by high resolution microarray. Initial evaluation was done at age 6 months because of a history of developmental delay, hypotonia, and dysmorphic face. Coronal craniosynostosis and enlarged parietal foramina were found on skull radiographs. At age 6 yr, he had severe global developmental delay. Multiple exostoses of long bones were detected during a radiological check-up. Based on the clinical and radiological features, PSS was highly suspected. Subsequently, chromosomal microarray analysis identified an 8.6 Mb deletion at 11p11.2 [arr 11p12p11.2 (Chr11:39,204,770-47,791,278)x1]. The patient continued rehabilitation therapy for profound developmental delay. The progression of multiple exostosis has being monitored. This case confirms and extends data on the genetic basis of PSS. In clinical and radiologic aspect, a patient with multiple exostoses accompanying with syndromic features, including craniofacial abnormalities and mental retardation, the diagnosis of PSS should be considered.

Cervical Osteochondroma Presenting as Brown-Sequard Syndrome in a Child with Hereditary Multiple Exostosis

Cervical cord compression due to osteochondroma in hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is a rare condition, especially in young children. In this report, we discuss a rare case of cervical osteochondroma presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) in a 7-year-old boy with HME. The child was admitted because of hemiparesis involving the right limbs and hypoesthesia on the left side following mild trauma. MR image revealed cord compression by osteochondroma of the C7 lamina. We removed the osteocondroma and the neurological deficit was improved.
