Abstract
Metachondromatosis is a rare disorder of autosomal inheritance with incomplete penetrance, which is characterized by formation of osteochondroma and enchondroma, caused by loss of function of the protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11) gene. Diagnosis is made based on the distribution and orientation of lesions with history of regression of lesions with time and confirmed by genetic mutation of PTPN11 gene. We report a rare case of a 24-year-old male with Alport's syndrome with metachondromatosis due to missense variation in PTPN11 gene.
