ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of an osteochondroma in the short bones of the extremities is atypical and the presentation in infancy is unusual. A 3-month-old female presented for evaluation of radial deviation of the right index finger present since birth. Radiographs showed a broad-based osseous outgrowth with the usual features of an osteochondroma arising from the base of middle phalanx. Initial corrective surgery at 22 months was followed by recurrence of the lesion. Another resection at 4 years confirmed a final diagnosis of BPOP (bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation). The subsequent pathologic diagnosis of BPOP appears to support the hypotheses concerning the etiology of BPOP as possibly arising from repeated trauma to the metaphysis.
