title: Ovarian fibrosarcoma associated with Maffucci's syndrome.
abstract: Maffucci's syndrome, a congenital condition of generalized mesodermal dysplasia, is most often associated with multiple enchondromas and soft tissue hemangiomas or lymphangiomas. This case report describes the development of an unusual ovarian fibrosarcoma and subsequent ovarian adenofibroma in a young woman with the syndrome. The importance of aggressive surveillance in this and similar orthopedic syndromes is stressed.
