Introduction:
Enchondromas are benign lesion of cartilaginous origin seen in early childhood. Multiple enchondromatosis is also known as Ollier's disease which involves the appendicular skeleton with multiple site involvement. We present a rare case of appendicular as well as axial skeleton involvement in a case of Ollier's disease.
Case Report:
A 13-year-old male with multiple enchondromas including all the appendicular skeleton along with ribs and cervical spine. Patient was evaluated with X-rays and non-contrast computerized tomography and is on conservative treatment and on regular monthly follow-up with no neurological deficit and no respiratory complications till now. Further evaluation for deformity correction if required, will be considered after skeletal maturity.
Conclusion:
Ollier's disease is a rare presentation with multiple enchondromas in the appendicular skeleton. Current case is further rare presentation of the Ollier's disease with involvement of cervical spine and ribs as well.
