Abstract | INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: PRESENTATION OF CASE: A case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a large bowel obstruction secondary to an advanced tumor of the descending colon. He was also diagnosed with multiple osteochondromas affecting legs, arms, ribs, scapula, clavicle and pelvis. No positive family history was recorded. An urgent left hemicolectomy and diverting transverse colostomy was done. The colon can as stage IIIB and the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. After 8 months of follow up, the colostomy was successfully reversed without any endoscopic signs of tumor growth or distant metastasis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: CONCLUSION: The coexistence of two rare conditions is the remarkable issue in this case report. There are no prior reports in literature. Further genomic sequencing maybe required to better understand this coexistence.
