Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a genetic condition characterized by the growth of multiple benign bone tumors called exostoses. These tumors typically develop near the ends of long bones, particularly in the arms and legs, and can cause pain, deformities, and limited mobility. HME is caused by mutations in specific genes, often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Individuals with HME may experience varying symptoms, and the severity can differ widely among affected family members. Regular monitoring and management by healthcare professionals are essential to address any complications, such as joint issues or nerve compression, associated with the growths.
