Maffucci’s syndrome: a case report

Maffucci’s syndrome comprises of multiple venous malformations in combination with dyschondroplasia and a variety of cutaneous, vascular, chondro-osseous and other benign and malignant mesodermal growths. Typically these tumors present in early childhood and may lead to significant deformity. We report a 21-year-old young man with 8 years history of multiple soft as well as firm nodules over his feet and shins, which proved to be hemangiomas and enchondromas on radiology and histopathology respectively. The tumors are important to recognize because of their high malignant potential.
