Answer to PhotoQuiz 62
Multiple Enchondromatosis/ Ollier Disease
Ollier disease is a rare disorder characterized by multiple enchondromas, which are usually asymmetrically distributed and mostly involve the appendicular skeleton. It usually presents with painless bony masses, with the most frequently affected sites being the hands (phalanges and metacarpals) and the metaphyses and diaphyses of long bones. Genu valgus and cubitus varus deformity, limitation of joint mobility, leg-length discrepancy, pathological fractures, and facial asymmetry may also be seen. There is an increased risk of malignancies especially chondrosarcoma. Somatic mosaicism for variants in IDH1, IDH2 or PTH1R have been found to be associated with this disorder.
