Abstract

Maffuci's syndrome is characterized by multiple enchondromas and subcutaneous hemangiomas. These tumors typically present in early childhood and may lead to significant skeletal deformities. Malignant transformations are a common feature of this syndrome and have been reported in approximately 30% of reported cases, with chondrosarcomas being the most common.
