Maffucci's syndrome is a congenital, non-hereditary mesodermal dysplasia associated with multiple enchondromas and after some years accompanied by hemangiomas. We describe a rare case of "reverse" Maffucci's syndrome in a 42-year-old woman who has suffered from multiple hemangiomas for the last 24 years. The last two years she complained for heel pain. Bone scintigraphic examination showed abnormal findings in the left calcaneal bone. The scintigraphy, radiology and histology findings revealed multiple enchondromas, so the diagnosis was changed into Maffucci's syndrome. After one year, the left calcaneal bone showed sarcomatous transformation. |
