SpecialtyOrthopedics
SymptomsPainless lump in finger or toe[1]
Risk factorsPossibly trauma in a minority[1]

Frequency<5% of cartilage tumors,[3] Males=Females[1]

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a type of non-cancerous bone tumor belonging to the group of cartilaginous tumors.[1][4] It is generally seen in the tubular bones of the hands and feet,[5] where it presents with a rapidly growing 1-3cm painless lump, usually in a finger or toe.[1][2]

BPOP is composed of bone, cartilage and spindle cells.[1] A small number of people have reported previous trauma.[1]

Diagnosis is by medical imaging.[1] Treatment is by surgical excision.[1] Up to 50% recur after surgery.[1]

It occurs more often in the 20s and 30s,[1] and combined with subungal exostosis, accounts for less than 5% of cartilage tumors.[3] Males and females are affected equally.[1] The condition was first described in 1983 by Frederick E. Nora.[5][6]

Signs and symptoms

BPOP generally presents with a rapidly growing 1-3cm painless lump in a finger or toe.[1][2]

Mechanism

It is composed of bone, cartilage and spindle cells.[1] A small number of people have reported previous trauma.[1]

Diagnosis

Medical imaging usually shows a well-defined wide-based bony growth on the surface of bone.[5] It can be pedunculated and irregular, giving it a "bizarre" appearance, and is not connected to underlying bone.[2]

Differential diagnosis

BPOP is distinct from subungal exostosis.[1][5] Granulomatous infection may also appear similar.[2] Other differential diagnoses include:

Treatment

Treatment is by surgical excision.[1]

Outcomes

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferations are non-cancerous with no risk of spread.[5] They may invade local tissue and recurrence after surgery can occur in up to 50%.[1][5]

Epidemiology

They are most often seen in people in their 20s and 30s.[1] Combined with subungal exostosis, account for less than 5% of cartilage tumors.[3] Males and females are affected equally.[1][5]

History

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation was first described by Frederick E. Nora in 1983.[5][6] Generally in the US, it has been thought of as a mouthful and hence it is sometimes referred to as Nora's lesion.[7]

Other animals

In 1998 a report of a similar lesion to BPOP was reported in a wallaby.[8]
