title: Maffucci's syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of Maffucci's syndrome, an infrequent tumoral process of unknown etiology. Its bizarre aspects make it conspicuously different from other cases in Peru. The number, size, and location of the tumors and the dystrophic changes after a prolonged evolution led to severe incapacity. The amputations performed as surgical treatment paradoxically contributed to improvement of the patient's condition.
