Case Presentation: Hereditary Multiple Exostosis in a Pediatric Patient

Hereditary Multiple Exostosis (HME) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder marked by the development of multiple osteochondromas, primarily at the metaphyseal regions of long bones.The disorder may result in growth disturbances, deformity, and in rare cases, malignant transformation.This case involves an 8-year-old male presenting with gradually enlarging, painless swellings and forearm deformity.Clinical evaluation, radiographic findings, and surgical considerations are discussed.The case emphasizes the need for early diagnosis, routine surveillance, and timely intervention to prevent long-term complications.
