Background: Subungual exostosis is a relatively uncommon, slow-growing benign bone tumor that most often affects the toes of young people and has significant impact on quality life. The treatment which essentially based surgical excision with meticulous closure wound while avoiding causes nail dystrophy.

tumours of growth plate origin. Although vascular complications of these are rare, the most commonly reported is a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. Most pseudoaneurysms have been related to femoral osteochondromas, with only 3 previous reports of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial exostosis. We report a case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial osteochondroma and di...

Here we describe a 28-year-old man with a history of right hip pain for the past 11 years and ankylosing spondylitis for the past 6 months. Imaging studies showed an exostosis in the femoral neck causing femoroacetabular impingement. The patient was diagnosed with coxarthrosis. This case report suggests that femoroacetabular impingement may accelerate the degenerative process in the hip joint.

BACKGROUND We studied an unusual combination of severe short stature, mesomelia (Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis syndrome), and multiple exostosis in several family subjects over three generations. The pattern of inheritance was compatible with autosomal dominant. METHODS Of 21 affected members over three generations, shortness of stature, associated with mesomelia resembling Leri-Weill dyschond...

Femoral bifurcation and tibia hemimelia are rare anomalies. Hereby, we present a case report of a 2-year-old boy who first presented in our orthopedic clinic as a 12-day-old neonate, with a grossly deformed right lower limb from a combination of complete tibia hemimelia and ipsilateral femoral bifurcation. Excision of femoral exostosis, knee disarticulation and prosthetic fitting gives satisfac...

A 20-year-old male presented with chest pain lasting several days. A radiologic examination revealed pleural effusion in the right hemithorax. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery demonstrated a bleeding focus at the diaphragm caused by injury due to a costal exostosis.

In the Indian Mcdical Gazette of January 1929, we reported seven cases of diaphysial aclasis (multiple exostosis) in Indians, including four cases from one family. The present case showed an even more marked family history, there being some 10 cases amongst 26 close relatives. Hasan Mohamed Khan, aged 45, was admitted into King George's Medical College Hospital, Lucknow, in January 1929, for ln...
