Chang, Cho, Houh, Shim, Cho, and Park: Subungual Exostosis

Abstract

Subungual exostosis are not uncommon, however, they are infrequently mentioned in the dermatologic literature.
We report herein a rase of subungual exostosis in the great toe of 16-year-old female student which was confirmed by histopathologic and radiologic findings.
Histopathologic examination showed that the mass was ooeered by a dense fibrous tissue which merged into a fibrocartilage cap and bone.
Computed tomography showed a well defined, oval shaped, radiopacity of bony density capped by a radiolucency.
