Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    Right-knee radiograph demonstrating marked deformity of distal femur and proximal tibia and fibula. There are expansile lucent lesions with cortical thinning and calcified matrix that are consistent with chondroid-type lesions. Presence of multiple chondroid lesions is consistent with Maffucci syndrome in patients who have characteristic bluish subcutaneous hemangiomas on physical examination.

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    18F-FDG PET/CT scan demonstrating only mild 18F-FDG uptake in right hemipelvis. Maximum standardized uptake value is 1.8, similar to surrounding osseous structure.

  • FIGURE 3.
    FIGURE 3.

    18F-FDG PET/CT scan demonstrating multiple soft-tissue nodular densities throughout subcutaneous tissues (phleboliths).
