title: Clonal chromosome abnormalities in a so-called Dupuytren's subungual exostosis.
abstract: We report the first cytogenetic investigation of a Dupuytren's subungual exostosis. The clonal abnormalities found suggest that at least some of these heterotopic ossifications could be neoplastic in nature, instead of being a purely reactive process or exuberant growth in response to trauma.
