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.

Introduction: Osteochondroma, a common benign bone tumor, predominantly affects young individuals, with a higher prevalence in males. It typically manifests as a bony growth capped with cartilage near bone growth plates, often extending away from joints. While most cases are asymptomatic, some may present with pain, swelling, or mechanical complications necessitating surgical intervention.

Introduction: Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors, typically occurring during growth. However, their occurrence in the distal radius is rare, and presentation with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms in pediatric patients is even rarer.

Case Report: Here, we describe a unique case of an 8-year-old female who presented with CTS symptoms and was simultaneously diagnosed with an osteochondroma of the distal radius.

Introduction: Benign bone tumors like osteochondroma are common during skeletal maturity occurring usually at the ends of long bones, such as the distal femur, proximal humerus, and proximal tibia. The tumor can occur in sessile or pedunculated forms. Mass lesions occurring around the ankle can lead to chronic pain, pathological fractures, progressive erosion, and scalloping of adjacent bone.

Article Synopsis
  • A supracondylar process is a harmless leftover structure from embryonic development, often confusingly identified as a bone spur in the humerus.
  • An 11-year-old patient misdiagnosed with osteochondroma was later found to have a fracture of this process after a fall, confirmed through imaging.
  • The case highlights the need for accurate interpretation of radiographic images to avoid misdiagnosis and underscores that non-surgical treatment is usually effective when no nerve or blood vessel injury is involved.
