“…Identifying "a one-of-a-kind" bone that has not been previously reported is a very difficult task. A process of elimination was used based on its morphology, anatomy, and location to deduce what type of supernumerary bone this was (Price & Vlahcevic, 1971). For example, this bone "pearl" is not a joint mouse, a loose bone fragment from a joint (König, 2013), or a peri-articular bone spur, osteophyte, or syndesmophyte because it is distant from the joint surface and margin.…”

A 73‐year‐old Polynesian male exhibits a small, round, supernumerary bone along the radial diaphysis of the proximal phalanx of the right thumb. This accessory bone resembles a pearl in shape and color and is firmly attached via soft tissue, a ligament. A search of the literature failed to reveal any supernumerary bones attached to the radial surface of the first proximal phalanx. The presence of this supernumerary bone, although quite small and different from other small ossicles in the human skeleton, is potentially important to clinicians, anatomists, and anthropologists. This bone, or others like it, could be symptomatic and represents a rare trait that contributes to our knowledge of anatomical variation in hand bones.

The goal of this review is to demonstrate the steps and the main items of the cognitive process used by doctors in clinical reasoning of diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The clinical problem-solving process makes use of the hypothetic deductive scientific method to solve problems. As soon as the doctor meets his (her) patient, many diagnostic hypotheses emerge in his (her) mind, which are evaluated and refuted or corroborated. The diagnostic decision occurs when a hypothesis reach a certain degree of likelihood. The therapeutic decision is based on the intended objectives and the waited effectiveness among many available alternatives.
