  • Title: Maffucci's syndrome with frontal lobe astrocytoma.
    Author: Jirarattanaphochai K, Jitpimolmard S, Jirarattanaphochai K.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Thai; 1990 May; 73(5):288-93. PubMed ID: 2212919.
    Abstract:
    Maffucci's syndrome is a particularly rare clinical form of mesodermal dysplasia. It consists of angiomatosis, chondromatosis and sometimes dyschromic cutaneous lesions. The syndrome is usually associated with a high incidence of malignancy, originating primarily from mesodermal derivatives. The present case is the second in the literature in which the syndrome is associated with a frontal lobe astrocytoma. This patient and those reported in the literature, suggest the potential involvement of non-mesodermal tumors in the Maffucci's syndrome.
