Subungual exostosis is a painful, benign bony outgrowth projecting from the distal phalanx of the toes. The present case consists of a 16-year-old male that presented to the primary clinic with a single circumscribed painful lesion underneath the nail of the first phalanx of the left foot that recurred after surgical extraction.
