    Summary

    Maffucci's syndrome patients have a 17.8% incidence of developing chondrosarcoma. This study analyzed cases from one institution and literature reviews to determine this risk for individuals with Maffucci's syndrome.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Maffucci's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder.
    • It is characterized by multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas.
    • The risk of malignant transformation in Maffucci's syndrome is not well-established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of chondrosarcoma in patients with Maffucci's syndrome.
    • To consolidate existing literature data with institutional findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of nine patients with Maffucci's syndrome at a single institution.
    • Systematic literature search for chondrosarcoma development in Maffucci's syndrome patients since 1973.

    Main Results:

    • Five out of nine (55.6%) patients at the institution developed chondrosarcoma.
    • The combined analysis of institutional and literature cases revealed an overall chondrosarcoma incidence of 17.8% in Maffucci's syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Maffucci's syndrome carries a significant risk of chondrosarcoma development.
    • Regular monitoring and early detection of chondrosarcoma are crucial for patients with Maffucci's syndrome.
