Pelger-Huet anomaly (PHA) is a benign hematological anomaly that is characterized by impaired lobulation of neutrophils with a coarse nuclear chromatin. Skeletal abnormalities may accompany this anomaly. Autosomal recessive deafness-4 (DFNB4) with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) comprises a phenotypic spectrum of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). We report a case with SNHL, multiple skeletal anomalies including osteochondroma, developmental delay, and PHA. Molecular studies revealed a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the LBR gene and a homozygous likely pathogenic variant in the SLC26A4 gene. Due to these 2 variants, he was diagnosed with PHA and DFNB4 with EVA. If goiter develops, DFNB4 with EVA is named Pendred syndrome (PDS), so the patient will be followed up for this condition, and in the current literature, there is no case with PDS and PHA co-existence either. PHA may be accompanied by multiple skeletal abnormalities. In our case, there is also concomitance with osteochondroma. Although these are independent and distinct diagnoses, we present this case due to the concomitance of these situations.
