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.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. 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.

Extractions: helpful? yes no Ollier disease: Enchondromatosis An Enchondroma is an island of unossified hyaline cartilage situated within bone (cartilage is the precursor of bone). They are usually multiple, affecting one or several bones. Characteristically, it is an asymmetric disorder, confined to one side of the body. The bones most commonly affected are the long bones, pelvis and bones of the hand. The islands of cartilage appear early in childhood and can develop, but it is very unusual for additional lesions to appear after puberty. Ollier disease is a very rare disorder which affects both sexes. It presents either as a lump or swelling or deformity of the long bone in early childhood. As the bones are weakened, they may fracture but healing is normal. The severity varies but otherwise the child develops normally. The main complications are the nature of the lump or swelling, the deformity of the affected bone and the shortening of the affected bone. The deformity can be corrected by osteotomy and the shortening can be addressed by leg lengthening in the knowledge that the bones will heal normally. Differential diagnoses of fibrous dysplasia and diaphyseal aclasis need to be considered. It is recognised that malignancy can occur but it is extremely rare. Maffucci syndrome in which there are cutaneous haemangionates associated with the enchondromas does carry a definite risk of malignancy. However, this is a separate and even rarer condition.
