ABSTRACT

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation is a disease similar to an osteochondroma that usually involves the metatarsal, metacarpal, proximal and middle phalanx. The symptoms are normally caused by the bone mass, the condition has a benign clinical course but recurrence is common. Recently, it was reported that there is a translocation between chromosome 1 and 17. We report a case of BPOP in the middle phalanx of hand with translocations and duplication in cytogenetic karyotyping with a review of relevant literature.
