Title: Bone deformation secondary to enchondroma Enchondromas are benign tumors formed by mature hyaline cartilage that affect the tubular bones. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who was brought to the outpatient pediatric clinic. He had developed a deformity in left forearm with no evidence of inflammation three months earlier. The clinical findings and the radiological study, which revealed the presence of a large osteolytic lesion in the left radius, led to the diagnosis of enchondroma, with a high degree of certainty. These lesions must be monitored at a specialized center as they can be an indication of the onset of Ollier's disease and there is a possibility of malignant transformation.
