Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (“MHE”) is a disease where cartilage capped bone tumors (exostoses / osteochondromas) grow throughout the body. There is no treatment at this time. It is not uncommon for MHE patients to undergo numerous surgical procedures throughout their lives to remove painful or deforming exostoses. Surgery, physical therapy and pain management are currently the only options available to MHE patients, but their success varies from patient to patient and many struggle with pain, fatigue and mobility problems throughout their lives.
