Maffucci syndrome is an extremely rare, sporadic, and nonhereditary disease characterized by enchondromatosis, bony abnormalities, and vascular malformations. We report a successful anaesthetic management of an adult patient with Maffucci syndrome scheduled for surgical excision of parathyroid adenoma, who had numerous enchondromas, haemangiomas, and skeletal deformities involving different parts of the body and posing significant challenge during positioning, securing intravenous access, and insertion of endotracheal tube. Awareness about this syndrome is of paramount importance because similar patients may be encountered with increasing frequency for incidental or corrective surgeries.

Bone sarcomas, constituting less than 1% of malignant neoplasms across all age groups, are rare tumours possibly associated with genetic susceptibility syndromes. This review aims to provide recommendations for the detection of cancer predisposition syndromes associated with bone sarcomas and managing affected patients. Recommendations were formulated by a multidisciplinary working and reviewing group from GROUPOS and SFCE oncogenetic's group, including geneticists, oncologists, and radiologists.

Purpose: Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromatosis) can cause severe lower limb length discrepancy and deformity in children. Osteotomy and limb lengthening with external fixation can correct the lower extremity deformity. There may be lesions in the osteotomy part (OP), and the internal fixation part of the external fixation(FP).

Background: Blue rubber blister nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a congenital, rare disease characterized by venous malformations of the skin and internal organs, affecting all systems throughout the body. The pathogenesis is unknown. There is no consensus on the treatment of BRBNS.

The management of children with syndromes associated with an increased risk of benign and malignant neoplasms is a complex challenge for healthcare professionals. The 2023 AACR Childhood Cancer Predisposition Workshop provided updated consensus guidelines on cancer surveillance in these syndromes, aiming to improve early detection, intervention, and reduce morbidity associated with such neoplasms. In this paper, we review several of the rare conditions discussed in this workshop.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to enhance understanding of tumor development in patients with Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome (MS), focusing on IDH-mutated tumors and their origins.
- It proposes that a single IDH-mutant cell could lead to various tumors due to early embryonic mutations and that not all mutated cells will display the IDH mutant characteristics.
- Additionally, it suggests that specific genetic predispositions (SNPs) may increase the likelihood of developing particular tumors in these patients, linking developmental defects to tumor occurrence.
