Subungual osteochondroma.

Abstract

Subungual osteochondromas are rare tumors that occur in the toes and fingers. This case report of a large subungual tumor of the right ring finger demonstrates the classic radiologic features and successful management of a large tumor by complete excision of the nail bed and the tumor and reconstruction of the distal nail bed with a split-thickness nail bed graft from the great toe.

Soft-tissue chondroma of the masticatory space.

Soft-tissue chondroma is an infrequent, benign, cartilaginous tumour that is uncommon in the head and neck region. Single-location chondromas rarely evolve into malignant neoplasms. Chondromas are composed of hyaline cartilage with focal calcification. There have been a few reports published of cases of soft-tissue chondroma of the neck and parapharyngeal space. Here is described a new location of this tumour in the masticatory space.
