Description : Enchondromas are common benign cartilage tumors of bone. They can occur as solitary
lesions or as multiple lesions in enchondromatosis. When hemangiomata are associated,
the condition is known as Maffucci syndrome. Clinical problems caused by enchondromas
include skeletal deformity and the potential for malignant change to osteosarcoma
(Schwartz et al., 1987). - Classification of the Enchondromatoses In their classification
of the enchondromatoses, Spranger et al. (1978) called Ollier disease and Maffucci
syndrome types I and II enchondromatosis, respectively; metachondromatosis (156250),
type III; and spondyloenchondrodysplasia, also known as spondyloenchondrodysplasia
(271550), type IV; enchondromatosis with irregular vertebral lesions, type V; and
generalized enchondromatosis, type VI. Halal and Azouz (1991) added 3 tentative categories
to the 6 in the classification of Spranger et al. (1978). Pansuriya et al. (2010)
suggested a new classification of enchondromatosis (multiple enchondromas).;
