Abstract:
Subungual exostosis is not a true exostosis, but an outgrowth of normal bone tissue, which is traumatic disputedly in causative factor, involving mainly the great toe. We experienced a case which a hard nodule, l. 0 crn in diameter, of the great toe of the left foot, developed in a 24-year-old woman. Her lesion had begun about 6 months earlier, accompanying the dull pain or tenderness when wearing the shoes or walking. Confirmatory diagnosis was biopsy with biopsy and X-ray findings after nail avulsion. We performed the lesion with curettage on therapeutic trial without effect.
