Observation: Enchondromas are benign lesions that may present on imaging with nonspecific features in children, and they are relatively large lesions, with frequent endosteal erosion and rare matrix mineralization. We report a case of predominantly right-sided multifocal enchondromatosis in a 5-year-old girl with no known medical history, diagnosed fortuitously on standard radiography during a trauma assessment and confirmed by histology. No sign of pain was noted after a 6-month follow-up. But the radiographic control noted signs of diffuse osteoarthritic remodeling in the surgical areas and early fusion of the growth cartilages. Conclusion: Ollier’s disease is rare, you have to know how to think about it in the face of fortuitous discoveries, especially at an early age. Enchondromas are benign lesions that may present on imaging with nonspecific features in children. In all cases, standard radiography is essential in the diagnosis and follow-up of Ollier’s disease.展开更多
