enchondromatosis /en·chon·dro·ma·to·sis/ (en-kon″dro-mah-to´sis) hamartomatous proliferation of cartilage cells within the metaphysis of several bones, causing thinning of the overlying cortex and distortion of the growth in length; it may undergo malignant transformation.

A congenital but nonfamilial disorder involving tubular bones, especially of the hands and feet, and characterized by a neoplasmlike proliferation of cartilage in the metaphyses that cause distorted growth in length or pathological fractures. Also called dyschondroplasia, Ollier's disease.
