Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP; also called Nora's lesion) is a benign surface osteocartilaginous lesion, which is infrequently reported in world literature. The condition is classically described in the short tubular bones of hands and feet in the second and third decades of life. We present a case report of BPOP of the middle phalanx of middle finger in a 4-year-old girl. The child underwent a wide excision and remained asymptomatic at 2.5 years of follow-up. Our case report highlights the importance of suspecting Nora's lesion in a child. It also helps in delineating a differential diagnosis and discusses the management principles of this rare osteocartilaginous lesion.

Background: Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a rare benign bone tumor, it is also called "Nora's lesion". The lesion is characterized by heterotopic ossification of the normal bone cortex or parosteal bone. The etiology of BPOP is unclear and may be related to trauma.

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferations, also known as Nora's lesions, are rare benign tumors with a high recurrence rate. They are often difficult to identify because of their similar appearance to other tumors. We describe a 25-year-old healthy female patient with bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferations in an uncommon location on the pelvic ilium, presenting with unique clinical findings of abdominal pain and femoral paresthesia and showing atypical radiographic findings.

A 45-year-old woman complained of left wrist pain and swelling for two years accompanied by limited dorsiflexion. Plain X-rays revealed an abnormal bony mass in the carpal bones, further evaluated using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Upon confirmation of the benign nature surgical excisional biopsy of the lesion, the histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP).

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), or Nora's lesion, is an unusual, benign, bony lesion often found in the tubular small bones of the hand and foot. In general, two characteristic radiological signs are used to diagnose the lesion, namely, (1) the absence of corticomedullar continuity and (2) BPOP developed from the parosteal surface of bones with an intact underlying cortex. Here, we present an atypical case of Nora's lesion of the proximal phalanx of the index finger, in which BPOP was diagnosed only histologically, with preoperative imaging examinations (X-ray and MRI) suggesting another lesion (enchondroma).

Introduction: Nora's lesion or bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a rare, benign lesion of small bones of hands and feet in adults. It composed of differing amounts of cartilage, bone, and spindle cells and an unusual form of calcified cartilage so-called "blue bone".
Case Report: A 23-year-old male presented with swelling at the lateral side of the fifth toe of his right foot, which was separated from the adjacent toe.
