The clinical picture, pathogenesis, gross appearance, and pathological changes of an ossifying hematoma of the fingers called turret exostosis have been described, as well as the results of treatment in eight cases. It must be emphasized that the end result of the excision of the turret exostosis is dependent upon the timing and technical quality of the surgical excision.
