Abstract
Ollier disease is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromas and a propensity to develop malignancies. We report the case of a 7-year-old Caucasian male with Ollier disease who developed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This report describes a patient with Ollier disease and AML and may offer a clue into the genetic pathogenesis of these disorders. (c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
