title: Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of the phalanx: report of a case.
abstract: Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation is a rare bone lesion. We report a case from a 47-year-old female patient who had pain and swelling of the right index finger for two months. On the basis of the frozen section diagnosis of benign lesion, probably myositis ossificans, she received tumor excision and has been free of recurrence in two years and ten months duration since. This case emphasized the importance of clinical, radiological and pathological correlation on approaching the diagnosis and treatment of the lesion.
