Subungual Exostosis of the Toes: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Background Subungual exostosis is a relatively common benign bone tumor that occurs in the distal phalanges of the toes and can be a source of pain and nail deformity. There is controversy about the treatment of these lesions and there are few studies that have synthesized what is known and provided meaningful information on treatment.

“…It is difficult to diagnose SE on the basis of the clinical presentation alone and misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of this lesion is common. In our study, the average time to diagnosis was 15.3 months (ranging from 8 to 48 months) confirming the data already published in literature (2-48 months) [1] .…”

“…Subungual exostosis (SE) is an uncommon, benign osteocartilaginous tumor of the distal phalanx. Trauma, tumors, infections, hereditary abnormalities, and activation of cartilaginous cysts have been suggested as possible triggering factors for SE . Recently, pathognomonic translocation t(X;6)(q22;q13‐14) was demonstrated in SE .…”
