Abstract
A unitary hypothesis is offered to explain the various proliferative processes occurring around the phalanges. In the past, these have been separately designated as proliferative periostitis, bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation, and turret exostosis. Because the appearances of these entities depend on temporal factors, breaching of the periosteum, and local anatomic features, we suggest a single term, proliferative periosteal processes of phalanges.
