Abstract
A very rare case of an unusual periosteal osteochondromatous proliferation is reported. For this tumor, there exists a discrepancy between the malignant histopathologic characteristics and the good prognosis. Therefore, it is very important to consider this pathologic entity in the preoperative differential diagnosis of hand and foot tumors so that no serious functional or cosmetic damage is caused by an inappropriate radical operation.
