“…It was mostly related to repetitive occupational trauma to the involved region. Radiological examination of FOPD typically shows a poorly delimited soft tissue mass with variable ossification, without connection with the underlying cortical bone [23]. Mild to dense periosteal reactions can be associated [3,22].…”

Introduction: Bony subungual growths arising on the digital tip are uncommon. Among these, subungual exostosis is a common cause. Case Presentation: We describe a 35-year-old-male patient with a rare occurrence of a fibro-osseus pseudotumor of the digit. It presents with reactive intramembranous ossification, with no continuity with the distal phalanx, helping differentiate it from a subungual exostosis. The patient presented with an asymptomatic subungual growth, lifting up the nail plate distally causing onycholysis. The characteristic clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of the case are described, which helped confirm the diagnosis. Conclusion: Cases with fibro-osseus pseudotumor of the digit reported in literature are reviewed comprehensively. The factors helping differentiate this from the other bony tumors affecting the distal phalanx, including subungual exostosis, myositis ossificans, and osteosarcoma are also highlighted.
