Core Tip	We report a case of pneumothorax caused by costal exostoses in a patient with hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). The computed tomography scan revealed exostoses and clarified the relationship between exostoses and the surrounding structures, which enabled us to identify the cause of the pneumothorax. Costal exostoses causing thoracic injuries should be removed regardless of age; thoracic complications are serious, and there is no apparent correlation between age at the time of operation and recurrence of thoracic complications after surgery. The application of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is worthy of consideration for patients with apparently benign and relatively small exostoses or patients with HME as redo VATS may be easily offered.
