Abstract

Enchondromas can be unique or multiple. The unique ones are not rare and could be considered as a discovery. They are developed inside the bone, mainly in endochondrial areas. When the enchondromas transform into multiple injury so, there is an enchondromatosis that includes several bones. Ollier’s disease is when a multiple enchondromatosis involves just the half of the body, it means in the unilateral enchondromatosis. The main complication of enchondromas is their malignant transformation to secondary chondrosarcomas, which may occur in up to 25% of cases. It was presented a clinical case of a 4-years-old patient with unique enchondromatosis diagnosis who was submitted to the pediatric onchology consultation due to a 2nd grade malformation on the right hand.
