Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe subungual exostoses.
  • To outline differential diagnoses.
  • To recommend treatment for symptomatic cases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review.
  • Illustration of clinical and radiologic features.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Subungual exostoses present with characteristic clinical and radiologic findings.
  • Differential diagnoses include onychomycosis, glomus tumors, and warts.
  • Surgical excision is effective for symptomatic relief.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subungual exostoses require accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
    • Surgical excision following partial toenail avulsion is the recommended treatment for symptomatic subungual exostoses.
