  • Title: [A special case of multiple hemangiomas in the head and neck area: a variation of the Maffucci syndrome?].
    Author: Bachert C.
    Journal: HNO; 1985 Oct; 33(10):472-4. PubMed ID: 4066423.
    Abstract:
    A 21-year-old patient with multiple hemangiomas in the mouth and in the skin of the neck and a simultaneous enchondromatosis in the hands is described. This congenital mesodermal dysplasia cannot be classified under known syndromes. It is named after Angelo Maffucci and is a combination of an enchondromatosis and multiple haemangiomatosis. Maffucci described this syndrome in 1881. After the presentation of the syndrome and differential diagnostic considerations of other diseases belonging to the neurocutaneous group of dysplasia, the author attempts to classify the patient described.
