Reevaluation of a genetic model for the development of exostosis in hereditary multiple exostosis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2002
AbstractEXT1 and EXT2 are genes that have been shown to cause hereditary multiple exostosis (HME), a syndrome marked by the formation of bony growths juxtaposed to the growth plate. These genes are members of a growing family of proteins with glycosyltransferase activity required for the synthesis of heparan sulfate chains.

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992
Although it is thought to be a relatively common tumour, only 34 positively identified cases of subungual exostosis in the hand have been found in the literature to date. 16 further cases are reported, making this the largest published series. Seven cases presented with an incorrect diagnosis.

Turret Exostosis of the Talus

Orthopedics, 2010
Turret exostosis is a benign osteocartilagenous lesion believed to arise from reactive perisoteum following relatively mild trauma. This article presents an unusual case of a turret exostosis of the talar neck in a 12-year-old child. A healthy adolescent presented with a 5-month history of a firm, painless mass about the anteromedial aspect of the ...

Subungual Exostosis of the Finger

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1995
Subungual exostosis is a benign tumor or cartilaginous bone beneath or adjacent to the nail. It is usually a solitary lesion that develops most often in the substance of the great toe and less frequently in other toes. It rarely occurs in the fingers. We present a case of subungual exostosis of the finger. At 4-year follow-up, the result was excellent,

Incidence of brachydactyly and hand exostosis in hereditary multiple exostosis

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1991
Forty-two radiographs and charts of twenty-two patients with a diagnosis of hereditary multiple exostosis and hand involvement were examined to determine the incidence of hand exostoses and association with brachydactyly. An average of 11.6 exostoses were found per hand.
