Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (Trevor's disease) of the distal radius.
The authors report a rare case of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH) or Trevor's disease of the radius in an Eskimo from Greenland. DEH is indistinguishable microscopically from osteochondroma, however its epiphyseal site of origin differentiates it from the osteochondroma, which characteristically originates in the metaphysis.
