title: [A woman with multiple masses on her left hand].
abstract: We describe a 66-year-old woman who presented with firm masses on her left hand, which had recently increased in size, and multiple haemangiomas. A diagnosis of Maffucci syndrome was established. Renewed growth of enchondromas during adulthood is suspicious for malignant transformation. Therefore, curettage with adjuvant fenolisation was performed in our patient. Clinical and radiological follow-up was required concerning local recurrence.
