Osteopoikilosis is a rare bone dysplasia characterized by abnormally enchondral bone maturation, which generally stars to be formed in the childhood and continues in the adulthood. It is generally asemptomatic and it is determined incidentally. As it is generally inherited otosomal dominantly, sporadic cases can also be seen. Enchondroma is a benign lesion formed from hyaline cartilage mostly in small bones like foot and hand with longitudinal and elliptic shape. In this study, we would like to discuss the patient with phalangeal enchondroma and osteopoikilosis.
