Abstract
Multiple enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease) is a rare disease characterized by widespread enchondromas. In general, the short tubular bones of the hand are involved, with progressive lesions resulting in cosmetic problems and functional deformities. Diaphysectomy and reconstruction with structural autografts or allografts are usually recommended in the treatment of extensive enchondromas involving the fingers. Curettage and grafting and ray amputation are other surgical procedures that can be applied depending on the severity of involvement. A 25-year-old woman with enchondromatosis presented with severe swelling and deformities on her fingers in both hands. The majority of the lesions were managed by diaphysectomy and reconstruction with structural grafts; ray amputation, curettage and grafting were performed for more severe lesions. During a long-term follow-up (left hand 6 years, right hand 5.5 years) cosmetic and functional results were acceptable.

Abstract
Maffucci's syndrome is a congenital, non-hereditary mesodermal dysplasia associated with multiple enchondromas and after some years accompanied by hemangiomas. We describe a rare case of "reverse" Maffucci's syndrome in a 42-year-old woman who has suffered from multiple hemangiomas for the last 24 years. The last two years she complained for heel pain. Bone scintigraphic examination showed abnormal findings in the left calcaneal bone. The scintigraphy, radiology and histology findings revealed multiple enchondromas, so the diagnosis was changed into Maffucci's syndrome. After one year, the left calcaneal bone showed sarcomatous transformation.

Abstract
Maffucci syndrome is a rare, congenital disease, which is associated with the appearance of multiple enchondromas (possibility of malignant transformation in 20 to 100%), soft tissue hemangiomas and other mesenchymatous injuries. Case 1 is a 33-year-old female who presented with multiple nodules predominantly in upper extremities. Upon examination, there was deformity in articulation and nodules on the hands, which were soft and moveable. There were bony shavings in the second and fourth fingers of the left hand (enchondromas and atypical cells associated with hemangioma esclerosante). Maffucci syndrome was diagnosed. Later, excision of subcutaneous nodules in superior extremities was performed along with excision of nodules in both hands and hypochondrium (enchondroma injuries of left hand and hypochondrium, hemangioma in right hand). There was dysarticulation of the second finger at the metacarpal level of the phalanges of the left hand (chondrosarcoma). The patient is being followed up currently. Case 2 is a 26-year-old female. The patient had a history of subcutaneous abdominal tumor, exostosis, nodules and nodule in right breast. Upon examination, a tumor was found in the right breast, exostosis of right tibia, injury to the right wrist and left thyroid nodule. A simple mastectomy and axillary dissection was performed (fibroadenoma to intracanalicular and 14 negative lymph nodes). Later, left thyroidectomy and lumpectomy in right wrist were performed (hyperplasia to nodular thyroid and hemangioma cavernous). There was injury in the carpus of the right hand and elbow (hemangioma cavernous and synovial tissue with fibrosis and enchondroma). A diagnosis was made of Marffucci syndrome associated with mesenchymatous tumors. The patient was in poor general health and did not survive this hospitalization.

Abstract
A 10-year-old girl with cutaneous, oral and gastrointestinal vascular lesions was referred for consideration of laser treatment of her skin lesions. She was noted to have multiple venous malformations predominantly affecting the hands and feet, some of which had been present from birth. Her right hand was deformed by multiple venous malformations, and X-rays of this hand revealed enchondromata within metacarpal and phalangeal bones. She was known to have extensive involvement of her gastrointestinal tract by venous malformations, resulting in refractory iron-deficiency anaemia. In view of the multiple cutaneous and gastrointestinal vascular lesions, a diagnosis of blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome had been made many years earlier. However, after recognition of the characteristic enchondromata, this diagnosis has been revised to Maffucci's syndrome. In addition to her ongoing dermatological and paediatric follow up, she has now been referred to the orthopaedic surgeons for surveillance of her skeletal lesions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maffucci 's syndrome (MS) is a congenital non-hereditary mesodermal dysplasia characterised by numerous mesenchymal neoplasias in the form of enchondromas with secondary bone deformities and multiple soft tissue haemangiomas that may have phlebolitis. CLINICAL PICTURE A 23-year-old male patient presented with non-productive cough, dyspnoea, chest pain and back pain. Chest X-ray showed unilateral pleural effusion and multiple enchondromas of the ribs. On physical examination, there were mobile, multiple, bluish-coloured lesions probably cavernous haemangiomas on bilateral chest walls. In addition, there were multiple nodular lesions on the extremities especially accumulated on the fingers. The patient was diagnosed as Maffucci 's syndrome according to computed tomography (CT) of the thorax, conventional radiography of the skeletal system, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, Th4-Th11 intercostal and right upper extremity angiography and physical examination findings. TREATMENT As the patient rejected any diagnostic intervention, he was monitored with CT. OUTCOME During the last 6 years of follow-up, the lesion that was detected on the rib adjacent to the basal segments of the left lung showed significant progression and was accepted as chondrosarcoma. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first case of Maffucci ' s syndrome with pleural effusion. In this case report, the probable mechanism of pleural effusion was discussed.

Abstract
Desmoid tumor of bone, also termed desmoplastic fibroma or aggressive fibromatosis, is a rare, locally aggressive fibroblastic tumor. We present a 16-year-old male with a huge desmoid tumor involving the iliac wing. It was associated with enchondromatous nodules mimicking malignancy. The tumor in this patient was mistaken for chondrosarcoma and hemipelvectomy was performed. To our knowledge, such a case has not previously been documented fully in the English literature. The radiographic and pathologic findings and a possible mechanism of enchondromatous nodule formation in fibrous bone tumors are discussed.

Abstract
A case of Maffucci's syndrome in an 18-month old boy is presented, in which the vascular malformation consists of lymphangioma. This is a rare variant of Maffucci's syndrome. So far only six other cases have been reported in which lymphangiomas featured. We believe that the case described here is only the second case to be reported for which a lymphangioma is the only vascular malformation in the syndrome. The literature of the other six cases was reviewed and various features identified enabling this particular disease to be classified as a distinct variant of Maffucci's syndrome.

Abstract
In contrast to solitary enchondroma,patients with multiple enchondromatosis of bone (Ollier's disease) get affected in childhood by bone swelling and growth retardation. In adults, the main problem is the risk of malign transformation up to 40%.Pain, increasing local tumor and thinning of the corticalis are the typical clinical and radiological signs of transformation to a low grade chondrosarcoma. There is no need for a regular radiological screening. If a malign transformation occurs,marginal or wide resection of the lesion should be performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ollier's disease is a constitutional pathology of unknown etiology. It is characterized by bone dysplasia generating numerous enchondromas. The malignant degeneration of this dysplasia is well known. The aim of this article is to study the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of these lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report a case of parapharyngeal chondrosarcoma extended to the base of the skull in a patient with Ollier's disease. The treatment was a surgical removal by a cervicotransoral incision combined with a preauricular incision and with a mastoidectomy. It was therefore possible to control the skull base, the parapharyngeal space, the infratemporal fossa and the major neurovascular structures. The removal of the lesion was completed at the level of the clivus and sphenoid with optics (30 and 70 degrees ). We discuss this treatment and the follow up on the bases of literature data. RESULTS The neoplastic degeneration of enchondromas is estimated between 25 to 50% of cases. The most frequent location is the pelvic bones. Chondrosarcomas are slow growing tumors and their metastatic potential is less significant as we note it in our case report. Their diagnostic is essentially based on histological criteria's and their treatment is surgical. CONCLUSION Chondrosarcomas of the ENT area occurring with Ollier's disease is rare. Their prognostic is good if the surgical treatment is well done.

Abstract
The authors report a rare case of the ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor associated with Maffucci's syndrome (enchondromathosis + hemangiomas), no heriditary mesodermal dysplasia. Sarcomatous changes of chondromas are encountered most frequently; however other various typed neoplasma have been reported: ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor may occur not infrequently in female patients with Maffucci's syndrome in the first or second decades. Sarcomatous changes of choromas established prognosis of the Maffucci's syndrome.

Abstract
Long-term follow-up reports on chondroid lesions of the skull base are rarely presented in the literature. There are virtually no data on natural growth rates of these tumors based on MRI obtained over a period of 10 years or longer. We followed a patient who has had such a lesion for more than 12 years. A non-progressive, slight abducens palsy has been the only associated symptom so far. Even though the patient was operated on for an additional intracranial arterio-venous malformation, clinical features and chromosomal testing excluded Maffucci's syndrome. The MRI follow-up in this case provides an extraordinary perspective on the natural history of chondroid skull base tumors.

Abstract
The multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas of Maffucci syndrome affect the skin and skeletal systems. The disease develops slowly, with enlargement of enchondromas and hemangiomas occurring during the first 2 decades of life. Effects of the disease range from those requiring minor adjustments in activities of daily living to almost total incapacitation.

Abstract
Maffucci's syndrome is a rare congenital non-inherited condition, characterized by multiple enchondromata, cutaneous haemangiomata and more recently spindle-cell haemangioma-endotheliomata. It is associated with an increased risk of malignancy including intracranial chondrosarcomas. Early diagnosis is crucial; screening patients with Ollier's disease is recommended. The treatment of choice for these intracranial cartilaginous tumours is complete surgical excision but this is often difficult to achieve due to difficult access and relationships with neurovascular structures. An alternative treatment is proton-beam therapy. We report a case of Maffucci's syndrome; illustrating the typical clinical and radiological features as well as the known complications of the condition.

Abstract
Enchondroma and chondrosarcoma are two of the most commonly encountered primary bone lesions in the typical radiology practice. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical, radiological, and pathological features that distinguish conventional chondrosarcoma from enchondroma. Chondrosarcoma is almost always associated with pain and tends to present in the axial skeleton of middle aged adults. Enchondroma tends to present in young adults in the appendicular skeleton, particularly the hands, and is often an incidental finding. Although both lesions have characteristic radiographic appearances, difficulty separating these two entities most often occurs when a lesion is seen in the long tubular bones. The judicious use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine in conjunction with appropriate clinical data allows the radiologist to establish the correct diagnosis of benign or malignant medullary chondroid lesion in the majority of cases.

Abstract
Benign cartilage lesions discussed in this article include osteochondroma (solitary, epiphyseal, and multiple), chondroblastoma, periosteal chondroma, and chondromyxoid fibroma. These lesions often demonstrate imaging appearances strongly suggesting the above diagnosis, particularly the "ring and arc" mineralization characteristic of cartilage lesions, which reflects their underlying pathology. This article emphasizes the imaging spectrum of these lesions with a multimodality approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A successfully treated massive chondrosarcoma in the skull base associated with Maffucci's syndrome is presented. The purpose of this report is to discuss the surgical approach to the tumor and reconstruction of the skull base. CASE DESCRIPTION A 36-year-old woman who had a history of multiple enchondromas and subcutaneous hemangiomas presented with decreased right visual acuity and left papilledema. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a mass in the skull base. The tumor occupied the nasal and paranasal cavities, and extended to the anterior, middle, and posterior intracranial spaces. The midline skull base structures and the left middle cranial base were destroyed. Using a combined anterior craniofacial and left orbitozygomatic approach, the tumor was totally resected. The large skull base defect was reconstructed with a vascularized outer table parietal bone graft attached to a bipedicled temporoparietal galeal flap. The postoperative course was uneventful except for decreased left visual acuity, and temporary diplopia and facial hypesthesia. In 40 months of follow-up there was no recurrence. CONCLUSIONSA skull base approach should be selected to perform total resection of an extensive skull base tumor. The bipedicled temporoparietal galeal flap and vascularized calvarial bone was useful for simultaneous reconstruction.

Abstract
We describe a patient with the previously unseen combination of Maffucci's and Stewart Treves syndrome who presented with an angiosarcoma of the hand. Maffucci's syndrome is characterized by the presence of multiple enchondroma and soft tissue hemangioma. The syndrome is a rare nonhereditary condition with a usual onset in childhood. Malignant transformations are a common feature of this syndrome. In 1948, Stewart and Treves first described six cases of lymphangiosarcoma after radical mastectomy. This syndrome is an unusual form of angiosarcoma occuring as a complication of lymphedema. Chronic lymphedema and lymphangiectasia preceding lymphangiosarcoma may not only be induced by radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection and postoperative radiation therapy. Posttraumatic, congenital or spontaneous chronic lymphedema may also be associated with lymphangiosarcoma. A time interval of many years seems to be required before malignant transformation develops. Generally the syndrome has a very poor prognosis. Both syndromes described above are of a rare frequency. We report this case because of prior unknown coincidence of both syndromes.

Abstract
The cardinal feature of Maffucci syndrome is the coexistence of enchondromatosis and vascular anomalies. The patients are usually normal at birth, the disease becoming evident at any time up to puberty. Association of soft-tissue swelling has been described in this syndrome but has not been listed as a sign or symptom. We report three cases in which the initial sign was diffuse swelling of the dorsum of the hand and/or foot. This was noticed at birth in cases 1 (girl) and 3 (girl) and at the age of 1 month in case 2 (boy), who otherwise appeared normal except for case 3 who had a rectovestibular fistula. The pathology of the swollen soft tissue was adipose tissue associated with various degrees of thickened and fibrotic septum containing dilated lymphatic channels. These dilated channels within the septum were so subtle that they were initially overlooked in cases 1 and 2. Awareness that swelling of the dorsum of the hand or foot can be the sole sign and symptom of Maffucci syndrome before the typical indications become evident helps the physician establish an early diagnosis of this condition.

Abstract
Ollier's disease and Maffucci's syndrome are similar multiple enchondromatous conditions. Other co-existing pathologies, particularly other primary malignancies, have been described sporadically in both conditions but more so in Maffucci's syndrome. Maffucci's syndrome is distinguished from Ollier's disease by the presence of haemangiomas in the former. In this report, a patient believed to have Ollier's disease for 44 years was subsequently found to have large splenic haemangiomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the light of this, we recommend that any patient diagnosed with Ollier's disease to have total body MRI to search for haemangiomas that will alter the diagnosis to Maffucci's syndrome and hence the prognosis. MRI also screens for the presence of other associated malignancies.
