Abstract
BACKGROUND Ollier's disease can cause severe length discrepancy of the lower extremities and deformity in children. Osteotomy and limb lengthening with external fixation can correct the limb deformity. This study evaluated (1) whether the duration of external fixation was reduced in patients with Ollier's disease, and (2) the incidence of complications such as pin tract infection, external fixation loosening, and joint stiffness. METHODS Two groups were compared with respect to age, angular correction (AC), lengthening gap (LG), distraction index (DI), lengthening length (LL), lengthening length percentage (L%), lengthening index (LI), bone healing index (BHI), and external fixation index (EFI). Group 1 (Ollier's disease) comprised nine patients undergoing 11 lower limb lengthening procedures using external fixators; group 2 (control, normal lengthened bone) comprised 28 patients undergoing 29 lengthening procedures with external fixators. RESULTS In patients with Ollier's disease, full correction of the deformity and full restoration of length were achieved in all cases. In the femur, the mean AC (15.97° vs. 6.72°) and DI (1.11 mm/day vs. 0.78 mm/day) were significantly larger, while the LI (9.71 days/cm vs. 13.49 days/cm), BHI (27.00 days/cm vs. 42.09 days/cm), and EFI (37.86 days/cm vs. 56.97 days/cm) were all significantly shorter in group 1 than in group 2 (p < 0.05). In the tibia, the mean AC and L% were larger, while the LG, LI, BHI, and EFI were all shorter in group 1 than in group 2. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of complications. CONCLUSION In children with Ollier's disease, new bone formation accelerated and the healing speed of the lengthened segments was faster throughout the whole lengthening period with external fixation, and full correction of the deformity and full restoration of length could be achieved.

Impact of Patient and Tumor Characteristics on Range of Motion and Recurrence Following Treatment of Enchondromas of the Hand. J Hand Surg Am 2023; 48:512.e1-512.e7. [PMID: 35115192 PMCID: PMC11059425 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2021.11.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The approach to the treatment of enchondromas of the hand is varied, and there is no clear consensus on graft source, fixation, or need for intraoperative adjuvant therapy. We reviewed a cohort of patients who underwent curettage and bone grafting with cancellous allograft chips without internal fixation or adjuvant therapy and reported on postoperative range of motion (ROM) and recurrence rates. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent surgical treatment for hand enchondroma over a 23-year period. We collected information on demographics and presenting enchondroma characteristics, including Takigawa classification and presence of pathologic fracture or associated syndromes. Patients were treated with open biopsy with curettage and grafting with cancellous allograft chips. Postoperative ROM, complications, and recurrences were recorded. RESULTS Our series included 111 enchondromas in 104 patients. Seventeen of 104 patients (16%) had a diagnosis of Ollier disease. Average length of follow-up was 3.1 years. Eighty-one percent of patients achieved full ROM. Treatment of patients who presented with preoperative pathologic fracture resulted in a greater frequency of reduced postoperative ROM at 28% (9/32) compared to 15% (11/72) of those patients who did not present with preoperative pathologic fracture. Local recurrence developed in 5 of 50 (10%) patients with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Local recurrence occurred at higher-than-average rates in patients with giant form Takigawa classification (43%, 3/7) and Ollier disease (23%, 3/13). CONCLUSIONS Treatment of enchondromas with biopsy, curettage, and allograft results in full ROM in 81% of patients. Patients with preoperative pathologic fracture should be advised of a greater risk of postoperative extension deficit. Recurrence remains rare and is associated with syndromic presentation and giant form lesions. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic IV.

Abstract
Limb length discrepancy and deformities resulting from Ollier's disease are challenging to treat and have increased complications. We aimed to assess the safety of intralesional osteotomy for distraction osteogenesis and report the results of guided growth as a method of deformity correction in such conditions. We retrospectively reviewed 13 patients (eight boys and five girls), 28 segments (12 femora and 16 tibias), treated using Ilizarov circular ring fixator in one center. Nine patients had an oblique plane deformity, whereas four had a coronal plane deformity. Femoral shortening ranged from three to 11 cm. Tibial shortening ranged from 3.5 to 12 cm. Intralesional osteotomy was carried out in all patients, and guided growth (hemiepiphysiodesis) was used in seven segments (25%). The median age was 11 years (6-14 years) at surgery, with a median follow-up of 4.5 years (3-18 years). The median achieved lengthening in the femur was 7 cm (5-11 cm) and in the tibia was 5 cm (3-9 cm). The average Bone Healing Index (BHI) for the femur was 32 days/cm (28-38 days/cm), and for the tibia was 36 days/cm (28-40 days/cm). Before frame removal, the mechanical axis was restored to the knee joint center in all cases. Normal radiographic bone regeneration was evident in all cases. Hemiepiphysiodesis successfully corrected the angular deformities. Intralesional osteotomy for distraction osteogenesis is well-tolerated and reliable in Ollier's disease. Radiological normal bone was formed at the distraction site. Guided growth is also a reproducible method for deformity correction in Ollier's disease, similar to other conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple enchondromas in the pediatric hand is a relatively rare occurrence and the literature regarding its incidence and treatment is sparse. Within this rare subset of patients, we identified a unique cohort in which lesions are confined to multiple bones in a single ray or adjacent rays within a single nerve distribution. We review the clinical and pathologic characteristics and describe the indications for and outcomes of treatment in this unique subset of patients as well as offer conjectures about its occurrence. METHODS Institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective multicenter study between 2010 and 2018 identified subjects with isolated multiple enchondromas and minimum 2-year follow-up. Data analyzed included demographics, lesion quantification and localization, symptoms and/or fracture(s), treatment of lesion(s), complications, recurrence, and presence of malignant transformation. RESULTS Ten patients were evaluated with average age at presentation of 9 years (range: 4 to 16) and mean clinical follow-up of 6 years (range: 2.8 to 8.6). Five subjects had multiple ray involvement in a single nerve distribution and 5 had single ray involvement with an average of 4 lesions noted per subject (range: 2 to 8). All children in the study had histopathologic-proven enchondromas and underwent operative curettage±bone grafting. Indications for surgical intervention included persistent pain, multiple prior pathologic fractures, impending fracture and deformity. During the study period three subjects experienced pathologic fracture treated successfully with immobilization. Recurrence was noted in 40% at an average of 105 weeks postoperatively (range: 24 to 260) and appears higher than that reported in the literature. No case of malignant transformation was observed during the study period. CONCLUSIONS A rare subset of pediatric patients with multiple enchondromas of the hand is described with lesions limited to a single ray or single nerve distribution. Further awareness of this unique subset of patients may increase our understanding of the disease and improve patient outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV-therapeutic (case series).

Abstract
Maffucci syndrome is characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromes and hemangiomas that can affect soft tissues and other organs. The risk of malignant transformation of lesions is 100% during the life of the individual, with chondrosarcoma being the most frequently associated malignant tumor. We present the case of a 44-year-old man diagnosed with Maffucci syndrome who developed a synchronous double primary: chondrosarcoma and high-grade multicenter fusocellular sarcoma of scapular and tricipital region, was treated with disarticulation interscapule-thoracic, presented accelerated progression and lung disease. There are other neoplasms associated with Maffucci syndrome, such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma, mesenchymal ovarian tumors, gliomas, astrocytomas and pituitary tumors. It is therefore very interesting to report the uncommon association between fusocellular sarcoma and secondary chondrosarcoma in patients with Maffucci syndrome. Follow-up in this group of patients is complex and is based on the intentional search for accelerated growing lesions, paying attention to progressive growth injuries, clinical symptoms or radiological malignancy data.

Maffucci syndrome complicated by three different central nervous system tumors sharing an IDH1 R132C mutation: case report. J Neurosurg 2018; 131:1829-1834.

Abstract
Maffucci syndrome (MS) and Ollier disease (OD) are nonhereditary congenital diseases characterized by multiple enchondromas and/or chondrosarcomas. Recent studies have implicated somatic mosaic mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH1/2) as contributing to the pathogenesis of MS and OD. Occasionally, patients with these disorders may also present with central nervous system (CNS) tumors; however, detailed genetic analyses are limited. In this article, the authors report on a male patient with MS, harboring three CNS tumors that share a common genetic alteration. Over a 9-year period, three separate tumor resections were conducted for sellar, intraparenchymal brainstem, and osseous clival tumors. The histopathological diagnoses were pituitary adenoma, diffuse astrocytoma, and chondrosarcoma, respectively. Sanger sequencing revealed a common IDH1 R132C mutation among all three CNS tumors but not in blood DNA. Administering chemotherapy (nimustine) and subsequent radiation therapy to the brainstem glioma and the residual lesion in the clivus have kept the patient progression free for 18 months. This is the first report demonstrating an IDH1 mutation shared among three different CNS tumors in a single patient with MS. The findings support the hypothesis that in MS and OD, a single common IDH1 mutation triggers tumorigenesis in cells of different origins and locations in a somatic mosaic fashion.

Abstract
CASE A 29-year-old man with mild hemophilia A and Ollier disease presented with bilateral atraumatic forearm pseudotumors. Both forearm pseudotumors were successfully treated surgically with staged radical extirpation and factor VIII replacement therapy. CONCLUSION Pseudotumors typically occur in adolescents with severe, poorly controlled hemophilia A. The development of factor VIII replacement therapy has progressively reduced the incidence of pseudotumors in patients in the developed world. No standardized therapy exists for pseudotumors that continue to bleed into the muscles despite nonoperative measures. Persistent masses require surgical removal with careful preoperative planning and a team approach.

Abstract
External fixation has long been used for limb lengthening but can result in many complications, such as tethering of the soft tissues, pain, decreased joint motion, scarring, and nerve injury. Recently, a controllable, telescopic, internal lengthening nail was developed to address many of these issues and hopefully improve the overall experience for the patient. The satisfaction rates of internal and external fixation for limb lengthening were compared in 16 patients, all of whom have experienced both methods. Thirteen out of 16 patients responded to a limb-lengthening questionnaire, developed by the authors for this patient population. Patients preferred the internal device with respect to overall satisfaction, reduced pain, ease of physical therapy, and better cosmetic appearance. When asked which device they would prefer if another surgery was required, all patients chose the internal device. From the patients' perspective, the internal lengthening device is an improvement over the traditional external fixator.

Abstract
General orthopedic surgeons frequently encounter patients with conditions affecting multiple bones. It is important to recognize common polyostotic diseases. This article describes five polyostotic conditions: Multipe Enchondromatosis (Ollier Disease and Maffucci syndrome), Multiple Hereditary Exostosis (Diaphyseal Aclasis), Fibrous Dysplasia (McCune-Albright syndrome and Mazabraud syndrome), Paget's Disease of bone (Osteitis Deformans), and Skeletal Metastases. This is a survey of the clinical, pathologic and radiographic features that assist in diagnosing these conditions. Also, an overview of the laboratory findings, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis is presented. Recognizing these diseases will aid in prompt and accurate diagnosis and appropriate referral and therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of corticoplasty for multiple enchondromatosis of the hand. METHODS Between February 2003 and January 2011, 6 patients with multiple enchondromatosis were treated. Of 6 cases, 1 was boy and 5 were girls with an average age of 10.8 years (range, 9-12 years); 5 cases presented with painless mass as first symptom, and 1 case was found to have mass by X-ray film because of hand injury. Physical examination at admission showed multiple mass on the hands, fingers deformity, and limited range of motion; X-ray film results showed large lesions in the phalanges and metacarpals. Corticoplasty and simple curettage without bone grafting were performed on 24 fingers (60 bones) with multiple enchondromatosis of the hand. The fingers active range of motion was used to evaluate the finger function; the diameter of the tumors was measured on the X-ray films; and according to Tordai's classification, tumor recurrence and new bone formation were observed. RESULTS Once, twice, or three-time operations were performed in 2 cases, respectively. All patients were followed up 17-83 months with an average of 52.2 months. At last follow-up, the active range of motion was significantly increased from (230.8 +/- 53.2) degrees at preoperation to (255.0 +/- 28.7) degrees at postoperation (t = -3.829, P = 0.001); the tumor diameter was significantly decreased from (15.6 +/- 5.8) mm at preoperation to (10.7 +/- 3.7) mm at postoperation (t = 8.304, P = 0.000). Of 60 bones, 34 (56.7%) were rated as Tordai grade 1, and 26 (43.3%) as Tordai grade 2. During follow-up, clinical manifestation, characteristics of radiology and pathological examination showed no pathological fracture or malignant change. CONCLUSION Corticoplasty is a safe and effective treatment for multiple enchondromatosis of the hand in children. The procedure can improve appearance and motion function of the hand.

Abstract
PURPOSE Only a few treatment options are available for Ollier disease, especially for improving appearance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of partial resection of the cortical bone with curettage of the tumor (corticoplasty) for treating hand deformity in Ollier disease. METHODS Five hands (3 patients, 30 metacarpals and phalanges) were examined. Windows of thin cortical bone were elevated, the tumors were excised, and the cortex was trimmed and replaced to enhance the appearance. Artificial bone substitute was used as the graft material for 17 lesions to fill the vacant medullary cavity. The other 13 bones had corticoplasty without grafting. Reduction of bone diameter on radiographs and patient satisfaction were rated after an average of 24 months. RESULTS On average, bony union was achieved 9 weeks after surgery (range, 4-12) in all cases. Morphologic changes on radiographs were rated as excellent or good. Complications and tumor recurrence were not observed, and the range of finger motion and grip strength did not decrease. The level of satisfaction with the outcome was very satisfied for 4 hands and satisfied for the remaining hand. CONCLUSIONS Corticoplasty for Ollier disease resulted in cosmetic improvement without functional deterioration.

Abstract
We describe a 66-year-old woman who presented with firm masses on her left hand, which had recently increased in size, and multiple haemangiomas. A diagnosis of Maffucci syndrome was established. Renewed growth of enchondromas during adulthood is suspicious for malignant transformation. Therefore, curettage with adjuvant fenolisation was performed in our patient. Clinical and radiological follow-up was required concerning local recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromatosis) is a rare non-hereditary condition characterised by the occurrence of multiple enchondromas, usually unilateral and asymmetrically distributed in the metaphyseal regions of the long bones and in the phalanges of the hand and foot. CASE DESCRIPTION A 10-year-old girl visited our outpatients' department with growth retardation of the left leg. Radiographic examination showed reduced growth and deformities in the femur and tibia, confirmed by MRI and bone scan. Since the aetiology of the deformities was not clear, we consulted the Netherlands Committee on Bone Tumours who diagnosed Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromatosis). CONCLUSION The pathogenesis of Ollier's disease possibly involves abnormalities in the signalling pathways controlling the differentiation of chondrocytes. Treatment is surgical and may consist of curettage and grafting of lesions, osteotomy, or Ilizarov fixation to correct deformities and length difference. Patients have a 5-50% risk of malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma, necessitating lifelong follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinicopathologic features of Ollier's disease, its chondrosarcomatous transformation and related differential diagnoses. METHODS A total of 19 cases of Ollier's disease and 8 control cases of pure multiple enchondroma were investigated by imaging studies including X-ray, CT or MRI, and hematoxylin and eosin stain. RESULTS Among 19 cases of Ollier's disease, 12 were men and 7 were women with a mean age of 20 years (range, 5-66 years). Ollier's disease involving short tubular bones of extremity were lytic defects with bony expansion, thinning or disappearance of the overlying cortex surrounded by periosteal fibrous tissues. When occurring in the long bones, the disease showed radiolucent columns of dysplastic cartilage that extended from the metaphysis to diaphyseal and created bowing deformation and limb asymmetry. Microscopically, the cartilage present in the small bones of the hands and feet tended to be more hypercellular with more abundant enlarged or binucleated nuclei. The lesion in long bones appeared multicentric, surrounding with a thin rim of bone and calcification. Six cases of Ollier's disease had developed secondary low-grade chondrosarcoma. CONCLUSIONS Low-grade chondrosarcomatous transformation can occur in dysplastic cartilage of Ollier's disease. The diagnosis of such sarcomatous transformation should be determined by invasion, but not atypicality of the cartilagenous cells. There are certain differences between the secondary chondrosarcoma of Ollier's disease and conventional chondrosarcoma on clinical, radiographical and pathological grounds.

Abstract
We report a 19-year-old man with Ollier's disease with multiple orthopedic procedures performed for leg length discrepancy; who developed chronic myeloid leukemia presenting with intramuscular hematoma. His symptoms resolved with cytoreductive treatment by hydroxyurea. Cytogenetic and molecular investigations showed a complex Philadelphia translocation t(9;22;13) (q34;q11.2;q12), with predominance of ela2 BCR/ABL splicing and deletion of reciprocal der(9) ABL/BCR locus, all suggesting poor prognosis. The cumulative X-ray exposure from repeated operations from the age of 7 to 12 years was estimated to be around 16 mSv, approximately the dose of 720 chest X rays. Literature review showed two other cases of leukemia occurring in patients with multiple enchondromatosis. Although the development of CML in this young patient might be related partly to genetic defects, the repeated radiation exposure, especially at young age and directly on the marrow tissue in the long bones, might also be an important pathogenetic factor.

Abstract
Chondromas combine a group of benign cartilaginous tissue tumors with common histological manifestations. The tumors (enchondroma, periosteal chondroma, and enchondromatosis) differ in sites and clinical manifestations. Chondromas are generally hypocellular, avascular tumors with an abundance of hyaline cartilage matrix and chondrocytes located diffusely, in clones or lobules. Small bone chondromas, Ollier's disease, and Mafucci's syndrome are characterized by the tumor tissue containing a large number of cells and by greater cytological atypia. Enchondroma is successfully treated by surgical methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we addressed two questions on the treatment for Ollier's disease: (1) how much callus formation occurs when an osteotomy is performed intralesionally and (2) how is the stability of the wires and half-pins that are inserted intralesionally. METHODS Four children with Ollier's disease underwent treatment of 12 lower limb segments using distraction osteogenesis until completion of their growth. All osteotomies were performed at the centers of the deformities, resulting in a total of seven osteotomies performed intralesionally. RESULTS Full correction of the deformity and full restoration of length were achieved in all cases, but a residual limb-length discrepancy of <10 mm remained. The mean external fixation index in the intralesional distraction osteogenesis group was 39.7 days/cm versus 30.8 days/cm in the extralesional distraction osteogenesis group. Conversion from abnormal cartilage to normal regenerate bone was seen in only one segment. Although approximately two-thirds of the wires and half-pins were inserted intralesionally, in all but one case (in which an iatrogenic fracture occurred) the wires and half-pins were well stabilized throughout the external fixation period. CONCLUSIONS Although deformity and limb-length discrepancies due to Ollier's disease were successfully resolved by distraction osteogenesis, enchondroma may arise in distracted calluses when osteotomized intralesionally. However, the stability of the external fixator was sufficient to lengthen limbs and correct deformities even when wires and half-pins were inserted intralesionally.

Abstract
THE AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the results of surgical short stature treatment with distraction osteogenesis using Ilizarov apparatus. MATERIAL AND METHODS Since 1996 sixteen patients were treated surgically because of short stature (11 male and 5 female) at the age of 9 to 29 years (mean 15.2). The cause of short stature in 6 patients was achondroplasia, 2 - Ellis van Creveld, 2 - Ollier disease, 1 - spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, 1 - hypothyroidism, 1 - pseudoachondroplasia and constitutional short stature - in other 3 patients. The pre-operative height ranged between 103 cm to 155 cm (mean 125). 12 patients were treated by the crossing method, means in one stage lengthening of the femur and the tibia of the contralateral limb. In 4 cases lengthening and improvement of body proportion was achieved by lower leg lengthening only (one of them lengthened twice). In 9 cases treated with the crossing method complete procedure was finished, in other 3 - only the first stage. Results In all patients the planed segmental lengthening was achieved except one tibial segment in the most older patient. Achieved height increase ranged from 8 to 20 cm (mean 13.8), on femur level 6 to 10 cm (mean 8.3) while on tibia level 2 to 10.5 cm (mean 7.3). The lengthening index for the single segment ranged from 0.6 to 4.7 months/cm (mean 1.5). COMPLICATIONS Severe limitation of knee joint range of motion (up to 50 degrees) needs quadriceps plasty in one case. Residual valgus deformity of the tibia in one case with Ellis van Creveld needs corrective osteotomy. Abnormal bony re-generate of the tibia in the oldest patient did not allows achieving the planed lengthening and leads to increasing the lengthening index up to 3 times. CONCLUSION Increasing the height with Ilizarov method is effective however the treatment time is long, requiring strict patients cooperation. The risk of complications should makes the qualification to this treatment careful and precise.

Abstract
This is a retrospective review of 25 tibial osteotomies (in 19 patients) performed with either acute or gradual correction to determine the outcome of treatment and incidence of neurovascular complications. Patients undergoing gradual correction had fewer neurovascular complications and greater correction than those undergoing acute correction (27 degrees vs. 18 degrees, respectively). It was concluded that gradual correction tends to be a safer technique for the treatment of tibial deformities and allows greater correction.

Abstract
Ollier's disease is a rare disorder characterized by multiple enchondromas with a unilateral predominance, especially in fingers in early childhood. We experienced a case of Ollier's disease treated four times with simple curettage from the age of 2 years and alpha-tricalcium phosphate cement grafting at the age of 21 years. The forth curettage was performed when the patient was 15 years old and preoperative X-rays had shown remarkable finger deformities. Postoperative casting of the involved joints was necessary to prevent fractures but led to some finger contractures. Following X-rays demonstrated incredible improvement of the appearance. This suggests that simple curettage alone at an early stage of Ollier's disease provide cosmetic improvement. At the age of 21 years our patient showed enlargement of the intramedullary finger lesions again. Some lesions seemed to be impending pathological fractures. This time we chose alpha-tricalcium phosphate cement to fill the cavities after curettage had been carried out. Harvesting a large amount of autologous bone was not required. All activities of daily life could be resumed immediately after surgery and none of the finger joints showed further restriction of motion. X-rays taken three years after the operation showed new bone ingrowth surrounding the material with little evidence of absorption. To our knowledge, this may be the first case of Ollier's disease treated with artificial bone grafting reported in the English literature.

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
Ollier’s disease is characterised by severe deformity of the extremities and retarded growth because of multiple enchondromas. For correction of deformity, the Ilizarov method has been used although it has many complications. A 17-year-old boy with Ollier’s disease had a limb-length discrepancy of 17.4 cm, with a valgus deformity of the right knee and recurvatum of the femur of 23°. He had undergone three unsuccessful attempts to correct the deformities by using external fixators. We used a fully implantable, motorised, lengthening and correction nail (Fitbone) to achieve full correction of all the deformities without complications. We decided to carry out the procedure in three stages. First, we lengthened the femur by 3.6 cm and the tibia by 4 cm. We then exchanged the femoral nail for a longer implant and achieved a further 6 cm of length. This reduced the shortening to 3.8 cm. When the boy has finished secondary school we will adjust the remaining discrepancy.

Abstract
A case of extensive lower limb lengthening (32 cm) in a 14-year-old male patient with Ollier's disease is reported. A varus deformity of the femur and a valgus deformity of the tibia were evident. The femur was successfully lengthened 22 cm by metaphyseal distraction, and the tibia was lengthened 10 cm by two-stage distraction-compression method with a cylindrical bone allograft. Ilizarov's distraction device was used. Radiologically, a good bone regenerate was formed. Host bone has incorporated (like sarcophagi) the allograft of tibia. No evidence of vascular or neural disturbances was found. The lengthening indices were counted for femur 22.5 days per centimeter and for tibia 21 days per centimeter, altogether 15.5 days per centimeter. Bone lengthening was performed through the Ollier's disease foci. Fine needle biopsy investigation showed that most embryonic cartilage cells had been replaced with bone tissue. After five years and a 25-year follow-up the patient was satisfied with the result. The function of the knee joint was limited, but the limb was fully weight-bearing. Signs of knee osteoarthritis were found.

Abstract
The complex valgus deformity of the right ankle of a 24-year-old Maffucci syndrome man was corrected by three-dimensional osteotomy followed by limb lengthening. Before surgical correction of the deformity, we used computed tomography data to make a life-size three-dimensional plastic model of the deformed ankle for an accurate understanding of the anatomical deformity. We then used this model to perform a simulated osteotomy. The real osteotomy was performed immediately afterwards and valgus and recurvatum deformities were corrected accurately. We recommend simulated surgery using a three-dimensional plastic model which will improve the pre-operative planning technique and the accuracy of the end results.

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
Maffucci's syndrome is a rare nonhereditary malformation of mesodremal dysplasia origin which consists of multiple hemangiomas of the soft tissue and multiple enchondromas. Only approximately 170 cases of this disease have been reported in the literature. Maffucci's syndrome is known to be associated with tumors of mesodermal origin. Chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and angiosarcoma are the most common malignant neoplasms and the benign tumors consist of pituitary adenoma, adrenal cortical adenoma, parathyroid adenoma, thyroid adenoma and breast fibroadenoma. We present a case report of a 26-year old female patient with Maffucci's syndrome and a giant thorax tumor composed of fibroadenoma and canalicular adenoma.

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
Chondrosarcomas constitute the second-most-frequent malignant bone tumors, representing about 10% of all malignant bone tumors. The most frequent localizations comprise the trunk, pelvis and limbs. Metastatic disease usually occurs in the lung; metastases to other localizations are seen occasionally. Manifestation in the head and neck area, either as primary tumor or metastasis, is very rare. A case of parotid gland metastasis in multiple enchondromatosis secondary chondrosarcoma (CHOSA) G-III of the left femoral bone is presented. A 79-year-old male patient reported to our clinic with a rapidly progressing mass in the left parotid gland. A superficial parotidectomy was performed and the entire tumor resected. Histopathological examination revealed nodular infiltration of the parotid by chondrosarcoma consistent with metastatic disease. Review of the literature shows that this is the first report of such a case.

Abstract
The authors present the results of treatment of 10 patients with Ollier's disease using the Ilizarov technique. The Ilizarov device was used to treat leg length discrepancy and to enhance the conversion of chondroma cartilage into normal mature bone, with no curettage and bone grafting. The mean duration of treatment was 9.4 months. This technique was highly efficient in treating the disease. It led to conversion of the abnormal cartilage into histologically mature bone in all patients. Some complications were seen, such as decreased knee mobility, which required prolonged use of the device. The Ilizarov technique is successful in treating patients with Ollier's disease despite some complications and the difficulty in using the technique.

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
Haemangiomas are different from true superficial vascular malformations. The haemangiomas, mainly affecting the newborn and small babies, will, after a phase of progression, sometimes regress completely. Therapeutic abstention is the rule except in high risk angiomas when steroid therapy may be effective. Visceral involvement poses problems. Superficial vascular malformations, on the other hand, arise at all ages and may affect any blood vessel. Each type has a specific clinical presentation, complementary investigations and appropriate treatment. Some are slowly progressive, for example capillary, venous and lymphatic malformations. Others are haemodynamically active, such as the arteriovenous malformations. Capillary malformations are flat angiomas with aesthetic consequences, apart from the Sturge-Weber-Krabbe syndrome. Cold, blue venous malformations confirmed by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, when necessary, require treatment adapted to their site and size: compression, embolisation, surgery or abstention. Lymphatic malformations may be cystic or tissular: the cystic lymphangioma, a soft swelling of often healthy skin, with compartments separated by septa on ultrasound scan, is usually treated by ethibloc embolisation. Arteriovenous malformations, warm and pulsatile, demonstrated at arteriography, may progress rapidly and treatment by surgery or embolisation, when necessary, has to be complete. Finally, there are complex vascular malformations which pose very difficult problems of management.

Abstract
Eight pediatric patients who underwent nine simultaneous ipsilateral femoral and tibial lengthenings with the Ilizarov external fixator were reviewed. The patient's demographics, diagnoses, corticotomy levels, mechanical axes, healing indices, amounts of lengthening, and complications were recorded. The patients' average age was 8 years 10 months (5 years 4 months-15 years 10 months) with an average follow-up of 49 months (30-88 months). The percentage of femoral lengthening averaged 16.7% (8-23%) with an average healing index of 28 days/cm (20-38 days/cm). The percentage of tibial lengthening averaged 18% (9.6-23.6%) with an average healing index of 29 days/cm (1940 days/cm). Four complications in three patients occurred as a direct result of the lengthening process. Three of the complications involved soft-tissue contractures, which were each successfully treated with one additional surgical procedure, whereas the fourth complication involved poor bone regeneration and required bone grafting and additional immobilization.

Abstract
Enchondroma are benign cartilaginous tumors and are localized most often at the site of the phalanges. Between 1982 and 1993 73 patients with monostotic enchondroma and 5 patients with polyostotic enchondroma were operated at our clinic. Clinical signs of monostotic tumors were pathological fracture (38.4%), pain or swelling. Eleven percent of cases were accidental findings. Surgical treatment was performed by complete removal of the tumors and filling the bone cavity with autologous spongiosa taken from the pelvic bones, the elbow, or the radius. Three patients (4.1%) had to be operated a second time due to wound infections and hematoma. In one case Sudeck's dystrophy was diagnosed. One patient (1.4%) developed a recurrent tumor. Our follow-up examination of 65 patients showed that 77% of the patients with monostotic enchondroma achieve very good or good functional long-term results after this operation, but only 40% of the patients with polyostotic enchondroma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Our objective was to study the diagnosis and management of this rare condition. A review of the literature concerning chondrosarcomas related to Maffucci's syndrome is reported. Cause and management are discussed. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We report a case of Maffucci's syndrome associated with a cranial base chondrosarcoma. To our knowledge, only five similar cases have been reported in the literature. The differential diagnosis between Ollier's disease and Maffucci's syndrome and the causes of these conditions are not clear. INTERVENTION An 18-year-old female patient presented with a giant tumor involving the posterior fossa, clivus, middle fossa, and cavernous sinus. The lesion could be totally removed through a transzygomatic approach. The histological diagnosis was chondrosarcoma. It was confirmed by immunohistochemical studies. There were no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Maffucci's syndrome is a rare clinical condition that presents difficulties concerning its diagnosis and management. It is characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromas and cutaneous hemangiomas. Intracranial chondrosarcomas may be associated with this syndrome. Immunohistochemical studies are necessary to differentiate chondrosarcomas from chordomas. The treatment of choice for cranial base chondrosarcomas is total removal of the lesion. Total removal may be very difficult to achieve because of the involvement of neurovascular structures. Alternative therapies, such as proton beam radiosurgery, should be considered. In this case, radical removal of the tumor was possible using a transzygomatic approach. Gross total removal of large cranial base chondrosarcomas is possible, but a longer follow-up period is necessary to ascertain that radical resection was achieved.

Abstract
Malignant transformation of multiple chondromas observed in Ollier's disease is a well known possibility. In the clinical case of a 52 year old woman reported here, the sarcomatous transformation of two endochondromatous foci occurred successively in less than one year. One was located in the calcaneus, the other within the proximal metaphysis of the ipsilateral fibula. This case is worth reporting for two reasons: the successive occurrence of these sarcomatous lesions led to a amputation below the knee, later completed by an extended radical resection of the fibula. This combination allowed to preserve the knee with a good functional result and without local recurrence, this clinical case may be compared with that reported by Goodman in 1984. Both cases show that sarcomatous transformations may occur almost simultaneously after a long quiscent period and suggest the existence of a factor that could trigger or favor a malignant transformation process.

Abstract
Enchondroma is a benign growth of cartilage arising in the bone metaphysis as a solitary or multiple primary lesions. The form of multiple enchondromatosis with unilateral predominance is termed Ollier's disease. We have recently treated a case of Ollier's disease with the chief complaint of deformity of the left hand. The patient was an 11-year-old boy. Radiographic examination showed honeycombed clear spaces in the metaphyses of the middle and proximal phalanges of the left ring and little fingers as well as of the fourth and fifth metacarpals, and thinning of the cortex of these bones, but with no evidence of pathological fracture. The tumors of the left fourth and fifth metacarpal bones and of the phalanges of the left ring and little fingers were removed, and the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger was capsulotomized. The patient was free from recurrence 19 months after surgery. With regard to the prognosis of Ollier's disease, malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma or osteosarcoma has been reported of the chondroma. Since Ollier's disease is self-limited in that it usually stops spontaneously as the patient grows, and since the cartilaginous lesions in occasional cases may regress or even disappear, any cartilaginous lesions that are still active or painful after termination of the growth period should be examined thoroughly under suspicion of undergoing malignant transformation.

Lengthening of the lower limbs in Ollier's disease: problems related to surgery. LA CHIRURGIA DEGLI ORGANI DI MOVIMENTO 1996; 81:279-85.

Abstract
Ollier's disease is a chondromatosis of the long bones that occurs rarely but that is highly disabling because it causes severe dysmetria and deformity of the lower limbs. Surgical correction of these skeletal changes is obstructed by poor mechanical resistance of the bone tissue affected and by the amount of lengthening required to even the lower limbs. It is the purpose of this study to indicate the surgery of choice for the treatment of this disease, comparing the two most recent methods used: Wagner's technique and the Ilizarov method. The latter is more reliable in terms of mechanical hold and the possibility of correcting severe deformities, producing bone regenerate of excellent quality even in major lengthening procedures. These results were obtained by adapting the Ilizarov method to the features of the chondromatous bone, thanks to the extreme malleability of the circular external fixator.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia and Ollier's disease (skeletal chondromatosis) are bone lesions that result from disorders occurring during ossification. Here we report on a patient suffering from Ollier's disease in whom polyostotic fibrous dysplasia was detected. The main problem for this 20-year-old man was a nasoethmoidorbital cartilaginous mass causing nasal obstruction, nonreducible eye proptosis, and sleep apnea. The lesion was approached by means of a combined route, ie, transfrontally and transfacially (nasal-cheek flap). The possible pathogenetic links existing between the two lesions and the problems involved in surgical treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Chondromas are benign tumors characterized by the formation of mature cartilage. Typically, they involve the short bones of the hands and feet. The lesions may be either solitary or multiple as part of enchondromatosis affecting several bones. Cases of multiple enchondromatosis with predominantly unilateral distribution are generally referred to as "Ollier's disease" or when accompanied by multiple hemangiomas as "Maffucci's syndrome". In cases with multiple chondromas there is considerable risk of malignant transformation (approximately 50%). Treatment of single lesions (curettage and bone grafting) is usually uneventful, but any therapeutic approach to Ollier's disease or Maffucci's syndrome should be tailored to the individual distribution of lesions in the most severely deformed extremities. Chondroblastomas are uncommon benign tumors that are almost invariably situated in the epiphyses of long bones adjacent to the epiphyseal cartilage plate. Histologically, they are characterized by round or polygonal chondroblasts with focal accumulation of osteoclast-like giant cells. Intercellular substance is scanty, and calcification occurs typically at focal areas. Lung metastases are reported in rare single cases with high survival rates after local resection, indicating low-grade malignancy. Only a few recurrences have been reported following curettage and bone grafting. Avascular necrosis or chondrolysis with subsequent secondary osteoarthrosis may occur after surgical treatment of chondroblastoma of the upper femur epiphysis. These severe indirect sequelae should be considered both when planning surgery and during follow-up. Chondromyxoid fibromas are rare benign tumors that are mostly diagnosed in the second and third decade; they are mainly found in the proximal tibial metaphysis. Histologically, there are areas of chondroid, myxoid, and fibrotic tissues, of which the myxoid component is characteristic for chondromyxoid fibromas.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This report discusses Maffucci's syndrome associated with intracranial chordoma. Of the 170 reported cases of this syndrome, only 27 have been associated with intracranial lesions and none was involved with intracranial chordoma. Chordomas are occasionally difficult to differentiate from chondroma and chondrosarcoma. An immunohistochemical analysis was able to prove, however, that the chordoma of this case significantly differed from chondroma and chondrosarcoma.
