Abstract:
Subungual exostosis is a bony outgrowth occuring on the distal phalanx beneath the nail. This report concerns a case of subungual exostosis, accompanied with overlying myrmecia which developed in a 18-years-old man. Confirmatory X-ray showed a bony exostosis arising from the dorso-medial aspect of the distal end of the distal phalanx of the right great toe. The purpose of this artiicle is to direct attention to subungual existosis, the diagnosis of which may often be unsuspected in dermatology
