A case of Ollier disease with non-small cell lung cancer and review of the literature

Ollier disease is a rare, non-hereditary mesodermal dysphasia, characterized by multiple enchondromas, which demonstrate asymmetric involvement of the metaphyses of the long bones. Many malignancies, especially chondrosarcomas, may be observed in association with this disease. The clinical and radiologic characteristics of a case involving a 44-year-old male patient with non-small cell lung cancer are presented together with the clinical characteristics of other cases reported in the literature.
