Osteochondromas are the most frequently occurring bone tumors. However, they rarely arise in subungual locations. Clinically they appear as slowgrowing
masses causing deformity of the overlying nail. Here we evaluate a case of subungual osteochondroma of the little finger that is very rare in
the literature. Radiological findings were diagnostic, and local tumor excision was the treatment of choice. The diagnosis was performed by a plain
radiographic film and the lesion was completely detached from the nail bed. If a dense lesion detected in little finger of a young patient, it should be
bear in mind that the lesion may be osteochondroma and complete removal may be chosen instead of biopsy.
