Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Skeletal Anomalies
Radiology

Background:

Benign skeletal anomalies require accurate differentiation from other pathologies.
Pelvic anomalies can present diagnostic challenges due to their location.

Observation:

A case of a "pelvic digit," a rare benign skeletal anomaly, is presented.
The anomaly exhibits specific radiographic features.

Findings:

The pelvic digit shares similarities with posttraumatic myositis ossificans.
Differential diagnosis also includes avulsion injuries of the pelvis and osteochondroma.

Implications:

Accurate identification of pelvic digit is crucial for appropriate patient management.
Understanding its differential diagnosis aids in avoiding misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.
