Unusual association between enchondroma and Camurati-Engelmann disease: a case report

Ups J Med Sci. 2010 May;115(2):157-60. doi: 10.3109/03009730903406777.

Abstract

This case report describes an enchondroma of the distal phalanx of the right little finger in a 37-year-old woman with Camurati-Engelmann disease. Curettage of the tumor and artificial bone grafting were performed in May 2004. Surgical treatment resulted in a good clinical outcome with no evidence of recurrence at 5-year follow-up. The genetic relationships between Camurati-Engelmann disease and benign chondroid tumors are discussed.
