ABNORMALITY IN ENCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION ENCHONDROMATOSIS

In humans sometimes abnormal intracartilaginous mode of ossification can lead to formation of a bony lesion referred to as Enchondroma. Enchondroma can present as a solitary lesion that involves metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges in most of the cases or as multiple lesions. We present a case of a 28 year old male who presented with pain in his forearm and digits on both sides. The pain was of mild nature .Rest of the general and skeletal survey was normal. He was followed with radiographs which revealed multiple enchondromata bilaterally. On history there was no familial history of similar or related disease.
