Enchondromatosis (Ollier’s disease): literature review and clinical case description

Ollier’s disease (enchondromatosis, dyschondroplasia) is a violation of the growth and development of bone structure, manifested by the formation of foci of cartilage tissue in one or more bones of the skeleton. It is accompanied by deformation, shortening and dysfunction of the segments of the bone apparatus involved in the pathological process. Enchondromatosis is a rare disease. At the end of the 20th century, 30 cases of the disease were mentioned in the specialized literature. Taking into account the insufficient familiarity of doctors with this pathology, which causes difficulties in diagnosis, a review of the literature and a description of the clinical case are presented.
