BIZARRE FINGER PAROSTEAL OSTEOCHONDROMATOUS PROLIFERATION (NORA’S LESION): A CASE REPORT

Nora’s lesion is a rare benign lesion that occurs as a locally aggressive parosteal mass localized in the short bones of the hands and feet. Its clinical presentation and radiological features are non specific, so there is the risk that it may easily be misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately. The first-line treatment for Nora's lesion is surgical excision. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old woman affected by Nora’s lesion of the distal phalanx of the second finger of the right hand, diagnosed by X-ray, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and which required aggressive surgical management by amputation.
