ABSTRACT
Multiple enchondromatosis, or Ollier’s disease, is a nonhereditary condition, characterized by the presence of benign cartilage lesions within the long bones. The term Ollier’s disease refers to unilateral involvement only. The disease is a dyschondroplasia rather than a true neoplasm. When an association with multiple hemangiomas is present, the syndrome is known as Maffucci’s disease.
