Background and Aims Large osteochondroma arising from chest wall and sternum is uncommon and presentation with airway compression is further uncommon. Methods Here we present a case of large chest wall osteochondroma as a part of hereditary multiple exostoses in a 9‐year‐old boy presented with a history of stridor and shortness of breath. The bony mass of the right chest wall was extending up to a suprasternal notch and compressing the trachea. Results The case was successfully managed by initial femoro‐femoral cardiopulmonary bypass under local anesthesia before the induction of anesthesia to prevent respiratory collapse, followed by debulking surgery was done.
