A rare case report of Maffucci syndrome in a 16-year-old girl

Abstract

Maffucci syndrome is an extremely rare, sporadic disorder that primarily affects bone and skin. It is characterized by multiple enchondromas, especially in the bones of hands and feet, with cutaneous hemangiomas. Treatment consists of orthopedic and surgical intervention to minimize deformities and for cosmetic purposes. Careful surveillance for both skeletal and non-skeletal malignancies is needed. We report here a case of Maffucci syndrome in a 16-year-old girl.
