Turret exostoses are a benign osteocartilaginous lesion.
Pathology
A turret exostosis is believed to arise from reactive periosteum after relatively mild trauma. It is usually seen as a smooth dome-shaped parosteal bone proliferation.
Location
Turret exostoses are most often found in the phalanges but may also present in rare sites such as the talus 1.
Differential diagnosis
In certain situations, consider:
