Surgical Management of Multifocal Chondrosarcoma in Ollier Disease

Ollier disease is a rare congenital disease in which multiple enchondromas occur. The tumors can transform to malignant chondrosarcomas of various histologic grades. The patient we described has been treated in our orthopedic department six times, always being referred on account of new lesions. The tumors were excised with margins of healthy tissue. Each tumor was subjected to a histological examination to determine its type and grade. Chondroid tumors should be diagnosed carefully, because the treatment depends on their histologic features. If surgery is performed, removal of the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue is crucial for the patient's well-being and good prognosis.
