Abstract
The radiological features of seven cases of pelvic digit discovered inciden tally on plain radiographs are described and differentiation from other cau ses of new bone formation is discussed. Its recognition, as a benign anomal y is important to avoid unnecessary investigation or intervention. An embry ological theory of development of pelvic digit is proposed.
