Abstract

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a rare lesion that usually arises in short bones of the hand and feet. It is typically seen in the third and fourth decades, seldom seen in the pediatric age group. A 6-year-old girl was presented with swelling over the ring finger of the left hand. The radiograph showed ectopic calcification and periosteal reaction in the ring finger. Computed tomography was performed, and a BPOP diagnosis was made on the preoperative finding. Excision of the lesion with overlying pseudocapsule and decortication was performed with a piezoelectric device. The patient is currently in a routine follow-up without recurrence. There is not enough data for treatment and follow-up BPOP in pediatric patients. The present case would contribute to the literature in the management of this rare presentation.
