Description: NEJM Images in Clinical Medicine
Subungual exostosis is a benign osteocartilaginous tumor. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults and often affects the great toe. It has been thought to reflect a reactive metaplasia resulting from microtrauma, but its exact pathogenesis is unclear.
