Frontal
Multiple expansile intramedullary lucent lesions involving multiple metacarpal and phalanges bones in keeping with multiple enchondromas. In addition, there are multiple rounded soft tissue densities seen around the 1st, 2nd, and 5th fingers associated with small rounded calcifications representing phleboliths related to soft tissue hemangiomas. Overall, findings are highly suggestive of Maffucci syndrome.
Case Discussion
Maffucci syndrome is characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromatosis and associated soft tissue hemangioma. Patients with Maffucci syndrome are at increased risk of malignant degeneration, commonly to chondrosarcoma.
