title: Subungual exotosis of the finger: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Although common in the toes, subungual exostoses of the fingers are relatively rare. We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with a subungual mass of her left long finger. The lesion was excised and pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of subungual exostosis. We also review the previously reported cases of subungual exostoses of the finger.
