Maffucci's syndrome can be mimicked by venous malformations infiltrating bone. Magnetic resonance imaging is crucial for distinguishing these vascular anomalies from enchondromas, aiding accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Maffucci's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by enchondromas and vascular malformations.
  • Distinguishing between Maffucci's syndrome and other conditions with similar bone lesions can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A pediatric case presented with a large venous malformation of the arm and hand.
  • Initial imaging revealed cystic bony lesions resembling enchondromas.

Findings:

  • Further imaging confirmed the bony abnormalities were caused by a venous malformation infiltrating bone.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effectively differentiated the vascular anomaly from true enchondromas.

Implications:

  • Venous malformations infiltrating bone should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Maffucci's syndrome.
