Subungual exostosis.
A review of the literature and two case reports of subungual exostosis are presented herein. This benign bony overgrowth, usually caused by trauma, is often misdiagnosed and sometimes mistaken for a malignancy. It is our intention to stimulate interest in and alert the practitioner to this entity so that he can include subungual exostosis in his differential diagnosis of digital lesions.
