Bony outgrowths of the distal phalanx of the great toe have been described in the literature but rarely. These subungual bony outgrowths can be caused by subungual exostosis or subungual osteochondromas. Both of these abnormalities are bony outgrowths with differences in the cartilage cap wherein the exostoses have fibrocartilage, and osteochondromas have hyaline cartilage. The subungual exostosis and osteochondroma that are protruding present symptoms of pain, redness, and deformed nail bed, whereas the nonprotruding osteochondromas have only a lump as the presenting symptom. In both conditions, excision of the lesion and curettage of the base helps prevent a recurrence. Curettage at the end of the excision of the bony outgrowth is required to avoid recurrence. After excision, the specimen should be sent for histopathologic examination to differentiate between the exostosis and osteochondromas, which are underreported in subungual locations, and to rule out malignant transformation. We present a 13-year-old girl with an isolated subungual nonprotruding exostosis of the great toe that was treated by excisional biopsy. The histopathologic examination confirmed it as osteochondroma, which is underreported.
