Abstract
We report a case of a 14-year-old male patient who came to our outpatient clinic to be evaluated from a recently developed painful hallux lesion, determining nail dystrophy. He had previously been treated with trichloroacetic acid for a supposed subungual common wart. After examining a firm and painful nodule, emerging from the nail bed, elevating the nail plate, we recommend an X-ray examination, confirming our suspicion of a subungual osteochondroma. The patient was referred to the orthopedist, a foot specialist, for surgical treatment.
