Title: Osteoma mucosalis, a new entity: an interesting case report of heterotopic ossification in the nail bed and review of the literature
Abstract: Heterotopic ossification is the formation of bone tissue at an abnormal site. The ossification of soft tissue outside the skeletal system can occur anywhere and can be found in mucosal tissues. This is the first case report of an osteoma mucosalis affecting the nail bed. We also reviewed the heterotopic ossification and calcification of cutaneous and mucosal sites in the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.
