- Ollier's disease is a rare, non-inherited bone disorder characterized by multiple benign tumors (enchondromas) that commonly affect the metaphysis of long bones, often leading to deformities and fractures.

- Diagnosis typically relies on observing clinical signs and specific radiographic patterns, with treatment usually unnecessary unless complications arise, highlighting the importance of recognizing these features to avoid unnecessary imaging.
