Abstract
In this article, we present a 21-year-old male patient who presented with swelling and pain located to right lower thigh and knee. Physical examination and subsequent diagnostic work-up revealed a pseudoaneurysm associated with an osteochondroma at lower thigh. This complication should be considered in young patients with a mass at knee and lower thigh region.
