Abstract

Maffucci syndrome is a rare congenital non-hereditary syndrome characterized by multiple enchondromas and vascular lesions, and an increased risk of several malignancies. In our report, a 29-year-old woman presented with many painless masses at the left upper extremity with a short left lower extremity for over 10 years. Physical examination revealed multiple vascular lesions at the left upper extremity and mild limb length discrepancy with left lower extremity shortening. The radiological study was compatible with venous malformations with probable enchondroma at the left upper extremity. Clinically, the patient was diagnosed with Maffucci syndrome. On the malignancy screening, mammography revealed a Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System 3 (BI-RADS 3) mass which a bi-manual examination was recommended. In addition, a low dose (81 mg) daily aspirin has been prescribed for localized intravascular coagulopathy prophylaxis.
