Abstract
Pelvic digit is a rare congenital anomaly where bone develops in the soft tissue adjacent to normal skeletal bone. Pelvic digits are most often associated with the ilium but may also pseudoarticulate with other pelvic bones or the abdominal wall. Its importance lies in its differentiation from acquired abnormalities due to trauma such as myositis ossificans and avulsion injuries of pelvis. In this article, we present a case of pelvic digit with multiple fractures. To avoid unnecessary investigation methods and treatment, this entity should be kept inmindwhen an atypical bone structure is noted around the pelvis.Entities:
