Ollier’s disease: A rare insight into imaging features

Ollier’s disease, also known as multiple enchondromatosis, is a rare congenital disorder with no identifiable cause. A nonossifying chondrocyte mass or a chondrocyte developing hamartomatously in the metaphysis are the clinical manifestations of this condition. The current study describes the case of a 21-year-old male patient who presented with pain, functional and aesthetic concerns in his left hand as a result of soft tissue swelling and was diagnosed with Ollier disease based on clinical observations and imaging findings. Ollier’s disease is uncommon in general, and as a result, it is less recognized among orthopedic surgeons. Physicians should counsel patients to have routine follow-up testing because of the increased risk of malignant transformation. To understand more about this disease, the present case study details a patient’s case preceding reviewing relevant literature to help in clinical diagnosis and management.
