A disorder of the growing ends of bones in which round nonossified cartilaginous masses scattered throughout the skeleton produce asymmetrical and very variable deformities, asymmetric leg shortening being common. The lesions are first noted from 1 to 4 years of age, rarely at birth, with little progression after adolescence. Both sexes may be affected. The majority of cases have been sporadic but a familial tendency has been reported in a few instances. Enchondromatosis is usually bilateral. The term Ollier syndrome applies in cases with unilateral involvement. The combination of multiple enchondromata with haemangiomata and phleboliths is known as Maffucci syndrome.

Extractions: Dear Hermann Schmid Thank you for the kind answer to my registration form mail. Because there was not enough place to write what I wanted, I enounced a larger email. Here it is: Four years after my birth on January 6, 1957, my parents noticed a difference in the length of my arms. Dr. med. Jost Zemp, a surgeon in Lucerne, Switzerland, diagnosed the disease as enchondromatosis. It was in my right hand, right forearm, right upper arm, right shoulder, right rib, right hip, and, as an exception, also in my left shoulder and left upper arm. The right upper and lower arms are about 20% shorter than normal for my size; the left upper arm is also about 20% shorter. Hence, my right arm is shorter than the left. From 1962 to 1972, all mentioned parts of my body underwent some surgical procedure to rectify what could be rectified. But until a few years ago I probably never heard the names of Morbus Ollier or Maffucci. When I was nineteen, Dr. Zemp attempted to operate on my left shoulder, "just as a beauty correction". However, due to the instability of the bones he had to halt the surgery.
A Mutant PTH/PTHrP Type I Receptor In Enchondromatosis in an R150C substitution in the extracellular domain of PTHR1 in enchondroma specimens from two of six individuals with enchondromatosis (Ollier disease). http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ng844
Extractions: Enchondromas are common benign cartilage tumors of bone. They can occur as solitary lesions or as multiple lesions in enchondromatosis (Ollier and Maffucci diseases). Clinical problems caused by enchondromas include skeletal deformity and the potential for malignant change to chondrosarcoma . The extent of skeletal involvement is variable in enchondromatosis and may include dysplasia that is not directly attributable to enchondromas . Enchondromatosis is rare, obvious inheritance of the condition is unusual and no candidate loci have been identified. Enchondromas are usually in close proximity to, or in continuity with, growth-plate cartilage. Consequently, they may result from abnormal regulation of proliferation and terminal differentiation of chondrocytes in the adjoining growth plate. In normal growth plates, differentiation of proliferative chondrocytes to post-mitotic hypertrophic chondrocytes is regulated in part by a tightly coupled signaling relay involving parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) and Indian hedgehog (IHH) . PTHrP delays the hypertrophic differentiation of proliferating chondrocytes, whereas IHH promotes chondrocyte proliferation. We identified a mutant PTH/PTHrP type I receptor (PTHR1) in human enchondromatosis that signals abnormally

Dyschondrosteoses Enchondromatosis, or multiple enchondromas, refers to a group of disorders of which Ollier disease is the best known. This is nonhereditary disorder which usually presents in childhood. Nominally, the disease consists of multiple enchondromas. However, on radiographs, streaks of low density are seen projecting through the diaphyses into the epiphyses of the long bones, due to ectopic cartilage deposits. With age, the cartilage may calcify in the typical "snowflake" pattern. The affected extremity is shortened (asymmetric dwarfism) and sometimes bowed due to epiphyseal fusion anomalies. Patients are at risk for development of sarcomas, specifically osteosarcomas and chondrosarcomas. These occur in approximately 25 % of patients. Mafucci syndrome represents enchondromatosis with oft tissue hemangiomas, usually in the hands and feet. As with Ollier disease, there is typically a shortening of the long bones. These patients are at higher risk for sarcomatous transformation of both the vascular and cartilaginous portions of the disease. REFERENCES Flemming DJ, Murphey MD. Enchondroma and chondrosarcoma.

Lately the 4th (ring) digit tip is very painful. The tip of the 4th finger is prominent, red, very sensitive to touch, hypotrophic nail, consistency very soft. What to do?

Click on the links below to search for: Discussion The patient has Maffucci's syndrome, also referred to as multiple congenital enchondromatosis or hemangiomatosis osteolytica. Maffucci's syndrome is a congenital nonfamilial syndrome combining neuro-ectodermal dyschondroplasia, (enchondromatosis) and multiple soft tissue hemangiomas (hemangiomatosis). It is a rare disease; only 200 cases have been reported throughout the world in the past 140 years. These tumors typically present in early childhood with pain and heaviness of the involved extremity and may lead to significant skeletal deformities. It is associated with chondrosarcoma and vascular origin sacomas, intracranial tumors, and with vascular nasopharyngeal and airway tumors which may lead to intubation related bleeding. Malignant transformations are a common feature of this syndrome and have been reported in approximately 30% of reported cases, with chondrosarcomas being the most common.

Extractions: Case of the Month ( October 1998 ) Presentation: Diagnosis: Enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease). Findings: Both knee joints AP view and Left knee magnified view A bone lesion with multiple linear channel like elongated radiolucencies are seen in the left lower femoral meta-diaphyseal region. Note the shortening and lateral bowing of the left femur. Another lesion of smaller size is also seen in the upper left tibia. Similar lesions were also seen in other bones. Discussion: Ollier's disease is characterized by multiple enchondromas distributed throughout the tubular and flat bones of the body. They involve one side of body either exclusively or predominantly. Affected bones are shortened and deformed. In childhood these lesions are subject to pathologic fractures and in adults (over 50 years of age) they are at risk of malignant transformation. Typically, patients present in the first decade with palpable bone masses, asymmetric shortening of extremities and osseous deformities related to fractures. On radiographs

Extractions: Home Genes Leukemias Solid Tumours ... NA Identity Note Chondroma is an uncommon benign tumour which characteristically forms mature cartilage. It is found mostly in the small bones of the hand and/or feet, although it can also occur in long, tubular bones, primarily the humerus, femur and ribs. Occasionally, focal areas of mixoid degeneration may result in a mistaken diagnosis of chondrosarcoma. Classification Chondromas are classified according to their location: enchondroma: within the bone (within the medullary cavity), periosteal chondroma: on the surface of the bone, soft tissue chondroma in the soft tissue. Clinics and Pathology Disease Enchondroma Note Fig: Enchondroma in the distal portion of the femur shaft. (courtesy of Dr Henry DeGroot at http://www.drdegroot.com Enchondroma is usually a solitary benign lesion in intramedullary bone. Usually asymptomatic, it is incidentally discovered as a palpable bony nodule. Rarely, causes soft tissue swelling and pain at the lesion site. Pain can be a sign of pathologic fracture. Both sex are equally affected, and any age group can be involved. It is thought to develop from epiphyseal cartilage rests that subsequently proliferate and slowly enlarge. Approximately 50% of solitary enchondromas are found in the hands, typically in the middle and distal portions of the metacarpals and the proximal portions of the phalanges, 10% in the feet, 20% in the proximal and distal parts of the femur and the proximal part of the humerus.
