Introduction. Nora’s lesion or bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous
proliferation is a rare benign bone neoplasm that is usually
localized on the small bones of the hands. The paper was aimed at
clinical, morphological and structural analysis of Nora’s lesion
case, the second registered in Ukraine.
Case report. A 42-year-old male patient presented with complaints of
painless swelling in the area of the distal 4th
metacarpal bone and limited mobility of the ring finger. The
diagnosis was based on a typical localization, combination of
clinical, radiological, and histological methods; however, the right
differential diagnosis was an important task in the present case,
too.
Conclusion. As there is still not enough data in the literature on
this issue, further studies of Nora’s lesion etiology will improve
its understanding, thus treatment modes and prevention of
recurrence, too.
Keywords: Nora’s lesion, clinical
