Abstract
We report on a boy with platyspondyly and metaphyseal manifestations of enchondromatosis with severe involvement of hands and feet, compatible with generalized enchondromatosis (enchondromatosis Spranger type VI). His father has only moderate platyspondyly. The latter is either coincidental or a milder, more localized expression of the disease. Father and son have consanguineous parents suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance of the trait. However, autosomal dominant inheritance with variable expressivity is also possible.
