Osteochondromas are among the most common cartilaginous neoplasms, but are rarely seen on the fingers and toes. We report a 10‐year‐old girl who had a dystrophic fingernail since Infancy that was identified as a subungual Osteochondroma radiologically and histopathologically. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features, as well as the pertinent differential diagnoses and treatment options are discussed.
