✦ Synopsis

We report the first cytogenetic investigation of a Dupuytren's subungual exostosis. The clonal abnormalities found suggest that at least some of these heterotopic ossifications could be neoplastic in nature, instead of being a purely reactive process or exuberant growth in response to trauma.
