Abstract
Osteochondromas are among the most common bone tumors of the foot. However, they rarely occur in subungual locations. Clinically they appear as slow-g rowing masses causing deformity of the overlying nail. Here we present a ca se of subungual osteochondroma with characteristic clinical, radiologic, an d histopathologic features. The lesion was successfully treated by total ex cision.
