[Chondrosarcoma in nasal fossae and Maffucci's syndrome].
BACKGROUND
Maffucci's syndrome is a congenital non-hereditary disease very similar to Ollier's disease and associates multiple cutaneous hemangiomas, dyschondroplasia and often enchondromas.


METHODS
We report a unique case involving synchronous localization of chondrosarcoma in nasal fossae and anterior chest wall, disclosing Maffucci's syndrome.


CONCLUSIONS
Atypical chondrosarcoma localization must lead to further investigation of potential multiple enchondromatosis.
