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.

Louis Xavier Édouard Léopold Ollier is particularly remembered for his work on bone and joint surgery. He was born in Vans, Ardèche, where both his father and his grandfather had been doctors. He initially studied natural science at Montpellier and in 1849 was assistant in botany in the faculty of medicine.

Extractions: ArticleInsider.com Ollier's disease is a defect which can be present from birth, but is not hereditary, that causes tumors to grow in the bones usually on one side of the body. Generally the long bones are affected like the femur or tibia, for example, and can also affect bones in the feet and hands. Tumor growth in the bones, caused by this disease can affect the growth plates, and if this occurs in one of the legs it can lead to a leg length discrepancy. Check Out Our Suggested Site for Ollier's Disease Information! An example case can be a child who shows signs of this disease by walking with a limp, and when observed more closely it may be noticed that one leg is shorter than the other. This occurrence can be a result of unossification, caused by Ollier's, which is when bone stops forming normally. In this particular form limb lengthening procedures can be performed to help lengthen the shorter leg to a close proximity of the longer one. Factors of Ollier's Disease The lumping and swelling which can occur around infected areas of bone can lead to outward lesions and can become infected if not cared for properly. Tumors around the bones in children with this disease are most likely benign, but in adults with other conditions the tumors can lead to malignant transformations. Deformities other than leg length discrepancy can appear, and when bones become very weak in children, fractures can become common.

Extractions: 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.
