title: [23 observations of subungual exostosis].
abstract: Twenty-three cases of subungual exostosis are described, representing an incidence of 0.031% in our setting. Children and adolescents were most frequently affected, with a clear predominance of females. Eight lesions were observed in exceptional locations, three on the fingers and five on the third and fourth toes. The results of the surgical technique employed to excise the exostosis are evaluated.
