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.

Article Synopsis
  • Subungual exostosis is a bone growth beneath the nail that can recur if not fully removed, and wide resections may lead to nail deformities.
  • A case study discusses a patient with a recurring exostosis treated with marginal resection, skin grafting, and electron-beam irradiation to minimize recurrence and preserve nail structure.
  • The results were promising, showing effective healing and good cosmetic outcomes, suggesting that electron-beam irradiation could be beneficial for preventing recurrence after surgery.
