Nora's lesion. Clinical and therapeutic considerations.

Abstract

In this article we report a case of bizarre paraosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also known as Nora's lesion, arising on the distal phalanx of the fifth finger of the hand in a young-adult subject. In this paper, we discuss the possible therapeutic programme related to the grade of severity of the clinical features and underline the rarity of this lesion and the difficulty of diagnosis, which is exclusively histological.
