“…19 SE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of painful subungual tumoral lesions, particularly when a yellow spot is observed on the nail plate immediately above the subungual mass. 20 The effects of non-surgical treatment are limited because they do not occur with sufficient speed. The first choice of treatment is complete surgical resection.…”

Introduction Subungual exostosis (SE) is a relatively uncommon benign bone tumor that occurs in the distal phalanges of the toes or fingers. Case presentation An 8‐year‐old girl presented for treatment of an acquired mass on the distal right index finger. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with a benign bone tumor. Surgical resection of the distal right index finger mass was performed under general anesthesia, and histological examination of the resected tissue supported a diagnosis of SE of the right index finger. The surgical outcome was good, with no surgical site infection. Throughout 15 months of follow‐up, the patient was asymptomatic with no recurrence. Conclusion Surgical resection of a mass on the distal right index finger resulted in absence of recurrence during 15 months of follow‐up. SE is a benign and uncommon lesion that is infrequently encountered by physicians. This infrequent occurrence may result in delays in diagnosis and treatment. Complete excision of the lesion and careful separation from underlying nail bed structures results in total resolution of the lesion, while providing the lowest risk of recurrence.

“…10,12 Subungual exostosis Subungual exostosis (SE) is a slow-growing, benign osteocartilaginous tumor typically encountered on the dorsomedial aspect of the hallux, probably secondary to a reactive process in response to trauma. 13,14 Chronic irritation, infections, and hereditary abnormalities have also been suggested as possible triggering factors. 13,14 Recently, pathognomonic translocation t (X;6)(q22;q13-14) was demonstrated in SE.…”

“…13,15 The majority of lesions occur during the second and third decades of life, with no sex predilection. 14 It presents as a small, hard, pink or flesh-colored, well-circumscribed nodule that may protrude through the hyponychium or lateral nail folds, causing elevation of the overlying nail plate and possible detachment. [13][14][15] It may also appear as a subungual pinkish-red spot visible through the nail plate in association with onycholysis or local tissue induration.…”

Painful nails: A practical approach to the diagnosis and management of painful nail conditions

Because several nail disorders share similar clinical features, their diagnosis and management can be challenging to clinicians. The physical examination may disclose localized abnormalities or point to an underlying systemic disease, requiring additional workup. Furthermore, cosmetic distress and nail-related symptoms (e.g., tingling, stinging, numbness, and pain) are common factors that influence the patient's search for medical assistance. Nail pain (i.e., onychalgia) can accompany both localized and systemic pathology. Onychalgia can be acute or chronic according to the time of evolution; patients may describe it as intermittent or constant, and as a throbbing, burning, sharp, or shooting sensation denoting the nature of the pain. It may be exacerbated by colder temperatures, touch, and increased activity (e.g., manipulating objects, walking). We present four main groups of conditions that might cause nail pain: nail tumors, nail deformities, inflammatory or infectious diseases, and external or traumatic agents. Our article includes an overview of the clinical features, as well as diagnosis and management pearls for each entity. Physicians (dermatologists and nondermatologists) should be aware that abnormalities of the ungual and subungual space are not exclusive of dermatological disorders but may also be present in noncutaneous contexts.
