    Monomelic Ollier's disease can present with multiple chondrosarcomas. This case highlights unusual widespread malignant transformation in a patient's leg bones.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Oncology
    • Skeletal Dysplasias
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ollier's disease, a rare skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by multiple enchondromas.
    • The monomelic form affects a single limb, leading to deformity.
    • Malignant transformation, typically to chondrosarcoma, is a known complication.

    Observation:

    • A 53-year-old male presented with pain and thigh enlargement due to the monomelic form of Ollier's disease affecting his left leg.
    • Imaging and biopsy confirmed chondrosarcomatous transformation in the distal left femur.
    • Surgical hip disarticulation was performed for treatment.

    Findings:

    • The surgical specimen revealed multiple foci of chondrosarcoma at various developmental stages.
    • These malignant transformations were distributed throughout the left femur, tibia, and fibula.

  • This represents an unusual presentation of widespread, multifocal sarcomatous change in Ollier's disease.
  • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring for malignant transformation in Ollier's disease, even in its monomelic form.
    • The multifocal nature of the chondrosarcoma suggests a potential for diffuse neoplastic progression within affected skeletal segments.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of widespread malignant transformation in Ollier's disease may inform future treatment strategies.
