Objective:
To research the incidence of subungual osteochondromas in a specific pediatric population.
Material and methods:

Results:
The pathological assessment featured four osteochondromas that corresponded to the subungual presentation, with an equal gender distribution of 1:1, an average age of 9.5 years, right: left ratio of 3:1; the 4th finger was the most affected.
Discussion:
Subungual osteochondroma has an incidence of 8.5% of all osteochondromas.
