“…Unlike the clinical complaints, the radiological findings are subtle due to the presence of a large radiolucent cartilaginous cap [11]. There is no cortical disruption or other abnormality of the distal phalanx [2]. Our patient's radiographs were comparable with the literature in the sense of a small bony outgrowth of the distal phalanx surrounded by a large radiolucent cartilaginous cap.…”

“…The histological and radiologic findings make SE distinct. The differential diagnosis of subungual exostosis includes subungual verruca, granuloma pyogenicum, glomus tumor, carcinoma of the nail bed, enchondroma, and ingrown toe nail [2]. Osteochondroma, enchondromas are cartilaginous tumors arising in the medullar cavity of tubular bones and should not be misdiagnosed as SE.…”

“…Subungual exostosis (SE), however is uncommon benign bone tumor arising in the distal phalanx of the digit, typically originating from or around the nail bed. It is considered a rare variant of osteochondroma [2]. Dupuytren G in 1847 first described this enitity in his study of 30 patients suffering from subungual exostoses of the great toe [3,4].…”

Osteochondromas and subungual exostosis are commonly misunderstood conditions. They are widely used synonymously. However a detailed review of literature tells us that subungual exostosis is in fact a rare variant of osteochondroma. This peculiar tumor is relatively uncommon; it has not been much remarked on the recent years. We report a case of subungual exostosis of the hallux in an 18 year old girl who presented to us with a swelling on her great toe which ulcerated the skin and caused lifting of the nail. We surgically excised the mass and reconstructed the nail and confirmed the diagnosis by histopathological studies. We present this case for its rarity and also because it is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

“…En sık bu bölgedeki travma ya da kronik bir infeksiyon sonrasında gelişen fibrokartilajinöz bir metaplazi olduğu düşünülmektedir 1,8 . Travma sıklıkla tetikleyici bir faktör olup tırnak yatağındaki akut ve kronik irritasyona yanıt olarak zamanla o bölgede kartilajinöz metaplazi gelişebilir 9,8 . Bizim olgumuzda etiyolojide travma öyküsü veya infeksiyon saptanmadı.…”

“…(4) Some studies have reported that trauma is the main contributing factor in the development of SE, with subsequent acute and chronic inflammation causing cartilaginous metaplasia. (5,6) An alternative view is that chronic infection is the result and not the cause of SE. (6) SE is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults; most of these lesions are located in the big toe, although they can occur (albeit infrequently) in other toes.…”
