Scope note: Enfermedad hereditaria transmitida por un gen autosómico dominante y que se caracteriza por exostosis múltiples (osteocondromas múltiples) cercanas a los extremos de los huesos largos. La anomalía genética causa un defecto de la actividad osteoclástica en las metáfisis de los huesos durante el proceso de remodelación en la niñez o al principio de la adolescencia. Las metáfisis desarrollan protuberancias óseas benignas que a menudo están recubiertas por cartílago. Un pequeño número sufre una transformación neoplásica.

Scope note: Hereditary disorder transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene and characterized by multiple exostoses (multiple osteochondromas) near the ends of long bones. The genetic abnormality results in a defect in the osteoclastic activity at the metaphyseal ends of the bone during the remodeling process in childhood or early adolescence. The metaphyses develop benign, bony outgrowths often capped by cartilage. A small number undergo neoplastic transformation.
