A 21-year-old man with known hereditary multiple exostoses presented with a 24-hour history of atraumatic bruising and swelling of the posterior thigh. A leaking popliteal pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed on ultrasonography and an emergency saphenous vein bypass graft procedure performed. The patient required a post-operative blood transfusion but otherwise made a full recovery. Vascular complications from osteochondromas are rare and include vessel displacement, stenosis, occlusion, arteriov-enous fistulas and pseudoaneurysm formation. Pseudoaneurysms usually present as an enlarging mass behind the knee. Acute rupture of an occult popliteal pseudoaneurysm caused by a distal femoral exostosis has not been reported previously.
