    Author: Davidson TI, Kissin MW, Bradish CF, Westbury G.
    Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 1985 Dec; 11(4):381-4. PubMed ID: 4065351.
    Abstract:
    Maffucci syndrome comprises multiple enchondromas together with cutaneous haemangiomas. Review of the literature shows a 15-20% incidence of sarcomatous change in one or more of the enchondromas. Malignancy arising from the vascular component, however, has only been reported in one case. We present a further case where a patient with Maffucci syndrome presented with multifocal angiosarcoma.
