Introduction
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant disease
characterized by abnormal growth of bones, mainly involving epiphyses of
long bones. In HME involvement of Sternum is very
rare1. Large sternal mass compressing airway needs to
be managed by a multidisciplinary approach to prevent injury to great
vessels, heart, and risk of fatal respiratory failure during induction
of anesthesia. We are reporting this case due to a very rare
presentation of a large sternal exostoses compressing airways, which was
managed successfully.
