title: Solitary phalangeal defect in the hand. Report of 2 rare cases.
abstract: Two unusual causes of bone defect in the finger are described. In one patient, erosion of the proximal phalanx was caused by a ring that eroded its way through the soft tissue and bone after an injury. In the other, a subungual wart caused a defect on the distal phalanx.
