Abstract
Enchondromatosis can transform into chondrosarcoma, but this event is rare in the hand. We present the case of a patient with chondrosarcomas of the ring and little fingers. The chondrosarcomas had a long progression of 60 years and the patient presented with large tumors and a severely deformed appearance.
