Introduction: Subungual osteochondromas are benign tumors of the sub- or periungual region, causing lifting, ulceration and deformity at that level.
Objective: To research the incidence of subungual osteochondromas in a specific pediatric population.
Material And Methods: Retrospective, transversal, descriptive and observational study based on the review of records with a histopathological result of osteochondroma from 2001 to 2014.
Results: The pathological assessment featured four osteochondromas that corresponded to the subungual presentation, with an equal gender distribution of 1:1, an average age of 9.5 years, right: left ratio of 3:1; the 4th finger was the most affected.
Discussion: Subungual osteochondroma has an incidence of 8.5% of all osteochondromas.

Subungual exostosis is a relatively rare benign bone tumor that occurs near the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes. Though it is similar to osteochondroma, it can be distinguished by its specific location and lack of communication with the medullary cavity. Although recurrence after surgical excision has been reported, no studies have examined the timing or progression of recurrence, nor have there been reports detailing the chronological imaging findings of recurrent cases.

Bony outgrowths of the distal phalanx of the great toe have been described in the literature but rarely. These subungual bony outgrowths can be caused by subungual exostosis or subungual osteochondromas. Both of these abnormalities are bony outgrowths with differences in the cartilage cap wherein the exostoses have fibrocartilage, and osteochondromas have hyaline cartilage.

Melanoma's rare capacity to undergo heterologous differentiation can create significant diagnostic challenges. The molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood. We present an unusual case of subungual melanoma exhibiting extensive cartilaginous differentiation and provide insights into its molecular and cytogenomic features.

Background: Subungual exostosis (SE) and subungual osteochondroma (SO) are benign solitary lesions that grow from the distal phalanx. The mass itself is typically painless, but pressure on the nail plate can result in pain and deformity of the involved digit. Tumors can be correctly diagnosed based on clinical, histological and radiographic appearance alone.
