  • Title: Maffucci's syndrome with bilateral cartilaginous tumors of the cerebellopontine angle.
    Author: Bushe KA, Naumann M, Warmuth-Metz M, Meixensberger J, Müller J.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1990 Oct; 27(4):625-8. PubMed ID: 2234368.
    Abstract:
    Maffucci's syndrome is characterized by the combination of multiple enchondromas (Ollier's disease) and hemangiomatosis. These hemangiomas develop in the subcutaneous tissue and form red-blue tumors dispersed over the whole body. Intracranial involvement is rare, making a preoperative radiological diagnosis and differentiation from other tumors rather difficult. The radiological characteristics and successful removal of the intracranial part of a chondrosarcoma of the cerebellopontine angle in a case of Maffucci's syndrome are reported in this paper.
