Abstract
|
|
|
|
The solitary osteochondroma is a hamartoma of the skeleton which derives from an aberrant subpe-riosteal germ of the ferile cartilage. Osteochondromas,Which are uncommon in the hand cna occur at the distal end of the proximal and middle phalanx away from the epiphyseal plate region. We experienced a rare case of solitary osteochondroma arising from distal end of fifth proximal phalanx of hand,and limiting the active montion of proximal interphalangeal joint. The patient was treated by marginal excision and tumor showed characteristic microsopic findigns of osteochondroma.
