Abstract

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation, also known as Nora lesion, is a rare benign surface lesion of the bone commonly affecting the hands and feet. It has an aggressive local growth pattern and high rate of recurrence post-excision. The authors report a case of recurred Nora lesion involving thumb metacarpal neck. En bloc resection with immediate reconstruction using distal radius bone graft was provided as a treatment with no clinical or radiological recurrence at 2-year follow-up.
