Ollier's disease is a non-hereditary disease whose manifestations most often begin in the first decade of life. It is characterized by the growth of benign cartilaginous tumors called enchondromas and is associated with bone deformities and shortenings. We report the case of a 3-year-old patient with Ollier disease, suspected on clinical findings and confirmed by standard radiographs and biopsy. Diagnosis of Ollier disease is based on specific clinical manifestations and radiographic findings. Histological analysis has a limited role and is mainly used in cases of suspected sarcomatous transformation. Treatment of Ollier disease is generally conservative, except in the case of complications. No drug treatment is currently available. Surgery is performed in cases of deformity, pathological fracture, deviation, limb inequality and malignant sarcomatous transformation. The prognosis and course of the disease are influenced by orthopedic complications and the high risk of sarcomatous degeneration.
