Summary:INTRODUCTIONOsteopoikilosis and enchondroma existing together have not been reported in literature, and this is the first report of the management of the same. CASE REPORTA 26-year-old male presented with dull aching pain with swelling around the knuckle of the left index finger of 1 month duration. On examination, there was a swelling of approximately 1x1 cm on the dorsal aspect. Typical radiographic changes of osteopoikilosis and enchondroma were present. CONCLUSIONEnchondroma coexistence with osteopoikilosis is rare. Diagnosis is suspected on plain radiographs and confirmed by the histopathologic study. Enucleation of the tumor with bone graft provides good results.
