Abstract:
A pelvic digit is a rare congenital anomaly and often an incidental radiographic finding. Here we present the first reported case of a 57-year-old Caucasian female with a pelvic digit and a chief complaint of dyspareunia. Radiographic studies and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a stable bony excrescence from the inferior left ischium impinging on the pelvic floor. The patient underwent surgical removal of the pelvic digit without complications. Accurate diagnosis of pelvic lesions is necessary to guide treatment.
