Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is uncommonly seen in children and adolescents. A distal femoral osteochondroma causing isolated lower limb DVT is even rarer and to our knowledge only four such cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a solitary distal femoral osteochondroma in a 15-year-old adolescent presenting as isolated DVT. We highlight the potential of coexistence of DVT and osteochondroma in young patients. We also emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and outline the plan of management when faced with such a rare condition.
深静脉血栓形成(DVT)在儿童和青少年中并不常见。由股骨远端骨软骨瘤引起的孤立性下肢深静脉血栓形成更为罕见,据我们所知,文献中仅报道过4例此类病例。我们报告了1例15岁青少年的孤立性股骨远端骨软骨瘤病例,该病例表现为孤立性深静脉血栓形成。我们强调了年轻患者中深静脉血栓形成与骨软骨瘤并存的可能性。我们还强调了及时诊断的重要性,并概述了面对这种罕见情况时的处理方案。
