Paediapaedia: Musculoskeletal Diseases Enchondromatosis Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Clinical Presentation: Can have asymmetric limb shortening, defective articulation and swelling of the fingers and toes. The enchondromata are asymptomatic unless a pathologic fracture occurs. Etiology/Pathophysiology: Multiple nests or streaks of disorganized cartilage cells probably representing persistence of cortical cartilage that was not transformed into osteoblasts and compact bone. The combination of enchondromatosis and multiple hemangiomas is known as Maffuci's Syndrome.They stop forming at puberty, and from then on there is remodeling and replacement of the cartilaginous lesions with bone. Patients can frequently be left with asymmetric limbs. Pathology: Not applicable Imaging Findings: Radiolucent metaphyseal defects are seen in tubular or flat bones. The masses expand asymmetrically with thinning of cortex over the affected area. In later stages of the disease the lesions are more frequently linear or striated.

The primary significance of enchondroma is related to its complications, most notably pathologic fracture, and a small incidence of malignant transformation, which may be associated with pathologic fracture. Enchondromas are usually solitary benign lesions in intramedullary bone. When multiple enchondromas coexist, the diagnosis of enchondromatosis should be considered. Multiple enchondromas may occur in 3 distinct disorders: (1) Ollier disease is a nonhereditary disorder characterized by multiple enchondromas with a predilection for unilateral distribution. The enchondromas can grow large and be disfiguring. (2) Maffucci syndrome is nonhereditary, is less common than Ollier disease. This syndrome results in multiple hemangiomas in addition to enchondromas. (3) Metachondromatosis consists of multiple enchondromas and osteochondromas, and it is the only 1 of the 3 disorders that is hereditary. Metachondromatosis is inherited by autosomal dominant transmission. Pathophysiology: Enchondromas are ectopic hyaline cartilage rests in intramedullary bone. The lesions replace normal bone with mineralized or unmineralized hyaline cartilage, thereby generating a lytic pattern on radiographs or, more commonly, a lytic area containing rings and arcs of chondroid calcifications. The lesions probably arise from cartilaginous rests that are displaced from the growth plate.

This disorder is nonhereditary and is also termed Ollier's disease. The tumours occur most frequently in the extremities but may also be found in the flat bones, such as those of the pelvis. Affected bones may be shortened and deformed. Children with enchondromatosis may be susceptible to pathologic fractures, and adults may be at risk of malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma Radiographically, the tumours may appear as linear or columnar radiolucent regions in the metaphyses or flat bones, which represent sites of persistent cartilaginous tissue ( Fig.1 ). Erosion and proliferation of the bone surface are sometimes observed.

Other characters Enchondromatosis, multiple, (also called Ollier's disease), multiple enchondromas, i.e. disorganized cartilaginous foci within the bones which causes bony swellings of the affected bones. In the long bones, streaky linear depositions of cartilage within the metaphysis may also occur. The disease often dominantly affects one side of the body. On other occasions it may affect the hands or feet, or be generalized. It is not an inherited disease. Clinically, there are bony swellings, limb shortening and mechanical difficulties, associated with joint disruption and short stature, which may be asymmetrical. The condition usually presents between 2 and 10 years of age. There may be focal restriction of growth at the site of a lesion which may result in limb shortening, Madelung's deformity or kyphosis. The characteristic radiological appearances are columnar radiolucencies extending from the metaphyses into the shafts of tubular bones; there may be associated stippled calcification ( Fig.1

uhrad.com - Pediatric Imaging Teaching Files Case Fifty Five - Multiple Enchondromatosis Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: Trauma to second right digit. Findings: Multiple lucent metaphyseal lesions of the proximal and middle phalanges of the fourth and fifth digits, as well as the distal metacarpals of the fourth and fifth digits. Diagnosis: Multiple enchondromatosis. Discussion: Enchondromatosis (Ollier's Disease) is a non hereditary disorder of enchondral ossification with lesions distributed throughout the tubular and flat bones of the body. The presenting clinical manifestations are masses that increase in size as the child grows, asymmetric limb shortening and either genu varus or genu valgus deformities. Radiographs of the young child could be normal in the first few years of life and later demonstrate radiolucent streaking within the metaphysis of involved bones, or at infancy may demonstrate radiolucent masses which can be round, triangular or linear. Stippled calcifications occur with age within the enchondromas. There may be considerable expansion of the tubular bones especially in the hands, and pathologic fractures may occur. Cartilaginous areas extending from the physis can lead to a growth interference resulting in limb shortening and deformities. Enchondromas typically stabilize or regress in adulthood. However, sarcomatous transformation has been described. Six types of enchondromatosis have been described, of which three are more common. If the multiple enchondromas are purely unilateral or unevenly distributed throughout the metaphyses of the long bones, sparing the cranium and spine, it is called Ollier's Disease. If the enchondromas are seen with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas (soft tissue calcifications/phleboliths) it is called Maffucci's Syndrome. If there is symmetric involvement throughout the body including the cranium, hands and feet, it is known as generalized enchondromatosis. The Ollier's and Maffucci's are more common in boys (2:1). The less frequent types include metachondromatosis which affects the short tubular bones of the hands and feet, and spondyloenchondroplasia in which the enchondromas are associated with platyspondyly, and enchondromas with irregular vertebral bodies.

Synonyms Multiple Enchondromatosis Multiple Cartilaginous Enchondroses Dyschondroplasia Enchondromatosis Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Ollier disease is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by abnormal bone development (skeletal dysplasia). While this disorder may be present at birth (congenital); it may not become apparent until early childhood when symptoms, such as deformities or improper limb growth, are more obvious. Ollier disease primarily affects the long bones and cartilage of the joints of the arms and legs, specifically the area where the shaft and head of a long bone meet (metaphyses). The pelvis is often involved; and even more rarely, the ribs, breast bone (sternum), and/or skull may also be affected. Ollier disease manifests as greater than normal growth of the cartilage in the long bones of the legs and arms so that growth is abnormal and the outer layer (cortical bone) of the bone becomes thin and more fragile. These masses of cartilage are benign (non-cancerous) tumors known as enchondromas. Enchondromas may occur at anytime. After puberty these growths stabilize as cartilage is replaced by bone. In rare cases, the enchondromas may undergo malignant changes (e.g., chondrosarcomas). The exact cause of Ollier disease is not known, although in some cases it may be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.

Enchondromas are most often found in certain bones (phalanges) of the hands and feet. Skeletal malformations may include legs that are disproportionate in length and/or abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine (scoliosis). In many cases, bones may tend to fracture easily. In most cases, hemangiomas appear at birth or during early childhood and may be progressive. Maffucci Syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.
