A 18-year-old man presented with a lump, ulceration, and pain on his right big toe. This complaint was present for the past 2 years. Initially, lump and pain were present, and since the past 6 months ulceration and superadded infection occurred. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  These benign tumors can be asymptomatic or manifest when a complication arises. Urogenital manifestations have been described exceptionally [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ]. [em-consulte.com]

  We report a case of a 21-year old male with an asymptomatic solitary costal exostosis incidentally detected on a chest X-ray. The exostosis originated from the costochondral junction of the left fourth rib and protruded into the thoracic cavity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There is no risk of malignant transformation, and thus no treatment is required in asymptomatic cases. [jbsr.be]

• Localized Pain

  This can lead to localized pain. People with hereditary multiple exostoses are usually diagnosed by the age of 5 years old. They may experience no symptoms or extreme symptoms, such as visibly abnormal bone shapes. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Dentist

  Your dentist and dental hygienist can detect oral problems early and suggest the best treatments for you. [colgate.com]

  Make sure that your dentist monitors the growth because it can get big enough to start moving your teeth out of place, creating a periodontal problem. Minor, outpatient surgery can remove the growth. [livestrong.com]

  For buccal exostosis, your dentist or periodontist diagnoses the condition by examination and an X-ray. An exostosis may require no treatment at all. But in some cases, treatment may be necessary. [healthline.com]

  This case report may help dentists recognise the unusual condition. No previous case reports have involved teeth that have also been supporting fixed or removable prostheses. [nature.com]

• Pathologist

  A pathologist examines the biopsy under a microscope. After putting together clinical findings, special studies on tissues (if needed) and with microscope findings, the pathologist arrives at a definitive diagnosis. [dovemed.com]

• Vomiting

  There was no history of swimming, trauma, dizziness, vomiting, visual disturbance and neurological deficit. On examination, the swelling was found to arise from the posterior wall of the external auditory canal. [ispub.com]

• Pelvic Mass

  We present here a rare case of secondary pelvic chondrosarcoma arising from a solitary exostosis in a pediatric patient. An 11-year-old, otherwise healthy, female was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a pelvic mass detected on a radiograph. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Radiography of the digit is a noninvasive test that should be part of the initial workup whenever subungual exostosis is in the differential diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the development of complications. Spontaneous resolution of osteochondromas during childhood and puberty is rare but has been described. [patient.info]

Cartilaginous Exostosis Prognosis This disease does not carry a deadly prognosis. However, the onset of cartilaginous exostosis can lead to serious health complications for the patient. [knowcancer.com]

What is the Prognosis of Subungual Exostosis? (Outcomes/Resolutions) With appropriate treatment, the prognosis of Subungual Exostosis is typically excellent, since the tumors are benign in nature The risk of recurrence is related to surgery. [dovemed.com]

The prognosis is very good if surgically excised, and as with all growths or masses, a biopsy should be obtained to rule out a more serious condition. [lifootcare.com]

Etiology and pathophysiology The pathogenesis of subungual exostosis is unknown, but current theories include trauma, infection, tumor, hereditary abnormality, or activation of a cartilaginous cyst. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Symptoms are more likely to be severe if the mutation is on the ext1 gene rather than ext2 or ext3; ext1 is also the most commonly affected gene in patients of this disorder.[14] Pathophysiology[edit] It is characterized by the growth of cartilage-capped [en.wikipedia.org]

IS EXOSTOSIS PREVENTABLE? Exostosis is preventable by following some basic safety precautions. [californiaearinstitute.com]

The curative treatment for a subungual exostosis is complete excision, and the cartilaginous cap must be totally resected to prevent a possible recurrence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prevention The use of earplugs while swimming in cold water or protecting the ears while out in cold wind can help prevent exostoses developing. [specsavers.com.au]
