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.

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.

Other benign cartilage tumors, besides those mentioned in this section, are ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome. enchondromas with normalappearing bones and, hence, they do not have ollier disease. ollier disease is a rare syndrome http://www.ortho.hyperguides.com/Tutorials/tumor/ollier/tutorial.asp
Extractions: To make the diagnosis of Ollier disease, the bone should be dysplastic. The dysplatic bone is often shortened and bowed. Patients may have multiple enchondromas with normal-appearing bones and, hence, they do not have Ollier disease. Ollier disease is a rare syndrome. Historically, we are taught that approximately 30% of patients with Ollier disease will develop a chondrosarcoma. These are usually very low-grade lesions. If the patient has associated soft tissue angiomas, then the patient has Maffucci syndrome. The risk of chondrosarcoma in Maffucci syndrome may be as high as 100%. Again, these are low-grade chondrosarcomas. The patient is more typically to die from a high-grade visceral carcinoma, such as an astrocytoma, pancreatic tumor, liver tumor, or breast cancer.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Maffucci Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by benign overgrowths of cartilage (enchondromas), skeletal deformities, and dark red irregularly shaped patches of skin (hemangiomas). 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.

Box 40194, Al-Khobar 31952, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 24 November 1993. The association of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a hereditary disorder of connective tissue, and Ollier disease, a rare, nonhereditary form of bone dysplasia, in a five-year-old female, is described. This association has not been reported before. The possibility of a common etiological factor is discussed. A five-year-old Syrian female presented with limping. She had a true shortening of the right lower limb of 4 cm. The skin was hyperextensible (Figure 1) but normal in texture. Joint hypermobility was prominent in the hands (Figure 2), feet and knees. She had 35_ and 15_ genu recurvatum for the right and left knee respectively (Figure 3). Sclerae, fundi, cornea, teeth and palate were normal. Two systolic clicks and a late systolic murmur were audible at the cardiac apex. The cardiac murmur increased in intensity on squatting, indicating asymptomatic mitral valve prolapse. FIGURE 1. Moderate skin hyperextensibility at the knee.
