Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Subungual exostosis is a benign bone tumor.
  • It commonly affects adolescents and young adults.
  • The great toe is the most frequently involved site.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of subungual exostosis.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of radiological findings.
  • To determine the optimal treatment for subungual exostosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 22 patients treated between 1980 and 1990.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, tumor location, and radiological data.
  • Assessment of treatment outcomes following local tumor excision.

Main Results:

  • Subungual exostosis accounted for 4.6% of all bone tumors.
  • The condition predominantly affected post-adolescents and young adults, with a female to male ratio of 1.75:1.
  • Radiological imaging proved diagnostic for subungual exostosis.

Conclusions:

  • Subungual exostosis is a distinct bone tumor entity.
  • Early diagnosis through radiological findings is crucial.
  • Local tumor excision is the effective treatment of choice for subungual exostosis.
