Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Radiographies of both knees.

• 

  Fig. 2. CT angiography of lower extremities. Anterior (A) and posterior (B) views of volume rendering images show multiple osteochondromas about knees and ankles of both lower legs.

• 

  Fig. 3. CT angiography of lower extremities. On volume rendering images (A, B), proximal segment of the right anterior tibial artery courses around an osteochondroma (arrow) arising from proximal fibula. Curved MPR image (C) shows angulation of the anterior tibial artery (arrow) caused by an osteochondroma.
