Pseudoaneurisma de artéria poplítea secundário a osteocondroma femoral: relato de caso / Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm caused by a femoral osteochondorma: case report

ABSTRACT

Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumor of the bone. They are sometimes responsible for vascular complications involving either veins or arteries, principally around the knee. Pseudoaneurysms are considered a rare condition. The authors describe the occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery in association with a femoral osteochondroma in a 30-years-old man.
