title: [Lymphangioma in a patient with Maffuci syndrome of the lower legs].
abstract: Maffucci syndrome is a rare dysembryoplasia associating cartilage tumors similar to enchondromas in Ollier's disease and vessel tumors. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with Maffucci syndrome involving the lower legs who developed a variety of vascular proliferations. This patient had capillary hemangiomas, cavernous angiomas, and lymphangiomas facing the cartilage tumefactions on the thigh. Regular clinical surveillance is required for such patients due to the risk of degeneration of the enchondromas and the angiomas, but also due to the possible occurrence of other malignant tumors besides the cartilage and vessel tumors.
