Olliers disease is a rare disease characterized by widespread enchondromas with a unilateral predominance, in early childhood. The diagnosis is based on clinical and conventional radiological evaluations. The prognosis for olliers disease is difficult to assess. Enchondromas in olliers disease present a risk of malignant transformation into chondrosarcomas. Due to its rarity literature focusing on olliers disease is limited.
