摘要

This case report describes a 15-year-old male with multifocal osteochondromatous proliferation and paraneoplastic hematologic dyscrasia, linked to latent Epstein-Barr virus reactivation. Radiographic and advanced imaging revealed widespread skeletal lesions consistent with osteochondromatosis. Hematologic evaluation indicated pancytopenia with dysplastic megakaryocytes and marrow infiltration. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed latent Epstein-Barr virus infection, suggesting its role in the pathogenesis of both the osteochondromatous and hematologic abnormalities. This case highlights the correlation between Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, bone proliferation, and paraneoplastic hematologic processes, which we believe has not yet been reported in the literature, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
