Ollier disease
Dr Jeremy Jones and Dr Yuranga Weerakkody et al.
Ollier disease also known as enchondromatosis, is a non-hereditary, sporadic, skeletal disorder characterised by multiple enchondromas that are principally located in the metaphyseal regions.
Some authors make a distinction between Ollier disease and enchondromatosis on the basis of distribution. In the original description of Ollier disease, the enchondromas where predominantly confined to one side and limited to the limbs. As such, some authors prefer to use the term Ollier disease in cases where this distribution is present, and use enchondromatosis or multiple enchondromatosis for cases where the distribution is more symmetric 5.
