Ollier’s disease is a rare tumor of unknown etiology.

The main manifestation of this disease is a non‑ossifying chondrocyte mass or hamartomatous growth of a chondrocyte in the metaphysis. A few cases can develop into chondrosarcoma or osteosarcoma.

The present study describes the case of a 16‑year‑old female patient in King George Hospital, VSKP, Andra Pradesh, India seeking medical help for calf muscle cramps, stiffness, pain and non-progressive swelling of all fingers for the past 1 year.

The incidence of Ollier disease is low, and thus, it is not well‑known and due to its malignant transformation rate 20-30%, patients need to be followed up at regular intervals.
