Abstract
A case of Ollier's disease is demonstrated. Large osteolytic lesions in the left femur and hemipelvis visible on the roentgenograms represent enchondromas. On CT and MRI studies numerous fine translucencies are demonstrated in the surrounding bone, corresponding to multiple cartilaginous foci. These findings may be considered pathognomonic for enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease). In addition, the nature of Ollier's disease and its predilection for malignant transformation are considered. The major differential diagnostic entity in this case was probably fibrous dysplasia.
