Ollier's disease is a multiple enchondromatose which constitutes 3% of benign bone tumors. Enchondromatoses can thicken the bone and produce the classical characteristics of the cartilaginous tumors: spotted calcifi cations within the lesion. I present the case of a six year-old school boy who had multiple enchondromes in the right thoracic and pelvic extremities (humero-radius and cubitus, phalanges of the hand, femur, tibia, fibula, and phalanges of the foot). that had produced angular, rotational deformities and asymmetry of the pelvic extremities which had been treated with osteotomy and external fixation according to IIizarow at the level of the tumorous defect, in the Unit of Pediatric Orthopedics of the Children's Hospital in La Paz, Bolivia.
