Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by accessory bone growths usually stemming from the epiphyseal plate oflong bones. MO affects about l in 50,000 lirn births. Complications of MO include joint disorders, difficulty with movement, loss of circulation, pain, and denervation. Malignancy occurs in I out of every 20- 200 cases of MO. Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS), an even rarer disease ( <100 documented cases), is defined by the presence of both MO and an underdeveloped skull. PSS is associated with underdeveloped intellectual abilities, motor skills, and speech. Herein, a unique case of MO is reported in order to provide a deeper understanding of this anatomical variation for physicians in the clinical setting. This case was discovered in a male cadaver during a routine dissection. This unique combination of bone pathologies provides an opportunity to better understand its presentation and necessitates further investigation on its pathogenesis.
