Detection of Unknown sites of multiple enchondroma (Ollier′s Disease) mimicking like metastasis using bone scintigraphy


, , ,
Abstract

Ollier′s disease characterized by multiple skeletal enchondroma is a rare noninherited disease of unknown etiology. Majority of the skeletal enchondroma are present in the metaphyses and diaphysis of tubular limb bones. Ollier′s disease has a predilection for unilateral distribution. Malignant changes in Ollier′s disease may occur in adult patients. Radionuclide bone scanning is one method used to assess lesions depicted on radiographs or magnetic resonance images that are presumed to be enchondromas. Furthermore, a bone scan may give a clue to the multifocality of the disease. We report a case of right first phalangeal enchondroma in a 23-year-old male, who underwent bone scintigraphy detected multifocal asymmetric right side involvement of radius, humerus, femur, and tibia which confirm a diagnosis of Ollier′s disease.
