Subungual osteochondroma: a case report

S Bostanci et al. Dermatol Surg. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

Osteochondromas are among the most common bone tumors of the foot. However, they rarely occur in subungual locations. Clinically they appear as slow-growing masses causing deformity of the overlying nail. Here we present a case of subungual osteochondroma with characteristic clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features. The lesion was successfully treated by total excision.
