A case of Maffucci's syndrome*

Abstract

A remarkably florid example of a well known, though rare, association of dysplasias is presented in which there is hardly a bone in the skeleton nor a vaseular region that has eseaped involvement. Radiographs of the patient are presented and since we shall be commemorating Maffucci's centenary in 1981 it seems appropriate to allow him to ‘write’ the captions to the illustrations. These captions have been selected from Maffucci's paper, and even though the roentgen‐ray was entirely unknown to him at that time his descriptions seem exceptionally appropriate 100 years later.
