Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor and present as multiple masses in the hereditary disorder of multiple
hereditary exostosis. It is usually painless without specific symptoms. However, it rarely causes symptoms such as mass effects
that produce several mechanical problems, and malignant transformation of the cartilaginous cap. The deformities and interference
with major joint function are the most frequent musculoskeletal complaints dependent on the location of the mass. Large bursa
formation with mechanical symptom has been very rarely reported in osteochondroma in which bursa is over the cap. Here, we
first described a patient with multiple hereditary exostosis who had developed huge bursitis on chest wall around the osteochondroma
arising from the anterior surface of the right scapula after dumbbell lifting exercise for 3 months, and suggest that cystic
mass can develop in any site of osteochondroma and should be early differentiated from malignant transformation of osteochondroma.
