We present a case of hereditary multiple exostoses with malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma in a woman complaining of enlargement and pain in the right thigh. Hereditary multiple exostoses is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple osteochondromas. Malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma of a pre-existing osteochondroma is a possible significant manifestation of this hereditary syndrome. Imaging modalities such as X-ray, Ultrasound, and computed tomography play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of these patients, as described in this case.
我们报告一例遗传性多发性骨软骨瘤恶变成为软骨肉瘤的病例,患者为一名女性,主诉右大腿肿大及疼痛。遗传性多发性骨软骨瘤是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征为多发性骨软骨瘤。既往存在的骨软骨瘤恶变为软骨肉瘤是这种遗传性综合征可能出现的重要表现。如本病例所述,X线、超声和计算机断层扫描等影像学检查手段在这些患者的诊断和治疗中起着关键作用。
