“…Rib osteochondromas are extremely rare, comprising a small proportion of all osteochrondromas 2 . Spontaneous haemothorax is a known complication of rib osteochondroma; however, it more commonly occurs in children or adolescents and has been rarely reported in adults 3–5 . The aetiology of spontaneous haemothorax is thought to be related to direct injury to the pleura, pericardium or diaphragm.…”

Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromatosis (HMO) is characterised by the presence of multiple osteochondromas, mainly affecting the long bones. Osteochondromas are bony projections that are either sessile or pendulated in form. Isolated osteochondromas in the form of spurs have been described as occurring in the knee and the foot. Reports of thorn-like osteochondromas affecting the ribs are extremely rare. We describe the unique case of an adolescent with multiple osteochondromas affecting the long bones. While in the lower limbs they were noted to be sessile and pendulated, they had the form of excessively elongated spurs in the radius. They created pain and limitation of his activities. The surgical removal of these spurs enabled us to restore activity in the patient's dominant (right) arm.
