General Discussion Hereditary multipal exostoses (HME) is a rare skeletal disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.
As the name suggests, this disorder is characterized by multiple bony growths or tumors (exostoses), often on the growing end (epiphysis) of the long bones of the legs, arms, and digits.
These bony growths are covered by cartilage and usually continue to grow until shortly after puberty.
They may cause deformities, especially of the ankle, knee, and wrist.
