General Discussion
Ollier illness is a rare skeletal condition identified by irregular bone growth (skeletal dysplasia). While this problem might be present at birth (congenital); it may not emerge up until very early youth when signs and symptoms, such as deformities or incorrect arm or leg growth, are much more apparent. Ollier disease mostly affects the long bones and cartilage material of the joints of the limbs, especially the location where the shaft and also head of a long bone meet (metaphyses). The hips is commonly entailed; or even more rarely, the ribs, bust bone (sternum), and/or head might also be impacted.

Ollier disease manifests as greater than healthy development of the cartilage material in the long bones of the legs and also arms so that growth is uncommon as well as the outer layer (cortical bone) of the bone becomes slim and more breakable. These masses of cartilage are benign (non-cancerous) tumors called enchondromas. Enchondromas could occur at anytime. After the age of puberty these developments support as cartilage is replaced by bone. In unusual cases, the enchondromas could undertake malignant modifications (e.g., chondrosarcomas). The precise source of Ollier condition is not known, although in some cases it may be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic characteristic.

When the enchondromas of Ollier Condition are come with by significant, most often benign, spreading of capillary (hemangiomas), the array of signs is called Maffucci Syndrome.
