Elio Kechichian, Roger Habe

Abstract

Maffucci syndrome is a congenital non hereditary disease caused by a mesodermal dysplasia in multiple regions of the body and resulting in both vascular and cartilaginous abnormalities. We describe the first case of Maffucci syndrome associated with multiple epidermal nevi suggesting a possible genetic link.
