Abstract
Maffucci's syndrome is a sporadic rare congenital disease that is characterized by enchondromatosis and soft tissue hemangiomas. A systemic evaluation should be considered because this syndrome is related to generalized mesodermal dysplasia, which has a high likelihood of a malignant transformation. Whole-body bone scintigraphy might be helpful for detecting skeletal involvement. We present a case of Maffucci's syndrome using bone scintigraphy to evaluate the extent of the disease.Entities:
