Maffucci's Syndrome
Maffucci's Syndrome
Maffucci's syndrome is rare; fewer than 200 cases have been reported since it was first described in 1881. It is characterized by the presence of hard cysts just beneath the skin and hemangiomas, abnormal lumps or tumors of blood vessels. These tumors commonly lead to pathological fractures of bones, and although most of the tumors are benign, there is a 15-20% incidence of malignancy. Improper formation of bone in cartilage is also seen. Maffucci's syndrome often impairs lymphatic function, leading to secondary lymphedema. Patients are normal at birth and develop lesions during childhood and puberty.
