ABSTRACT
Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) is an autosomal dominant disease diagnosed by the presence of two or more than two osteochondromas on radiographs. The majority of cases are asymptomatic. The presence of bony growth, pain, and compression of the surrounding structure are the usual presentations. Malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma is the most feared complication. A rapid increase in size, recurrence after the surgical excision, and infiltrating mass may suggest the conversion into chondrosarcoma. Radiological imaging helps in diagnosing malignant transformation. MRI is the investigation of choice to exclude cancer. We hereby present a case of multiple osteochondromas with suspected malignant transformation due to rapidly increasing painful osseous swelling.
