Abstract Five new cases of a rare congenital anomaly known as the ”pelvic digit”, were each discovered incidentally on a radiographic examination of the pelvis. The features are described, using tomograms in some cases to show the most important and typical radiographic signs of this anomaly. We review the cases previously reported in the literature and discuss the features in the differential diagnosis between the pelvic digit, myositis ossificans, avulsion injury of the pelvis and the pelvic…

Pelvic digit: an uncommon developmental anomaly
Abstract. The radiological features of seven cases of pelvic digit discovered incidentally on plain radiographs are described and differentiation from other causes of new bone formation is discussed.…
The pelvic digit - A rare developmental anomaly: A case report with CT correlation and review of the literature
TLDR
A case of a pelvic digit with CT correlation is presented and the literature is reviewed.
The pelvic digit: a harmless “eleventh” finger
TLDR
A case of a rare congenital anomaly called “pelvic digit”, incidentally found on a plain radiograph of the pelvis, which is important to be aware of its existence in order to differentiate from acquired abnormalities due to trauma.
Dyspareunia associated with a pelvic digit
TLDR
The first reported case of a 57-year-old Caucasian female with a pelvic digit and a chief complaint of dyspareunia is presented, with a stable bony excrescence from the inferior left ischium impinging on the pelvic floor.

TLDR
Though resembles Myositis Ossificans, clear cortico medullary differentiation and history of trauma ease up to diagnose this rare entity.

TLDR
Three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography scans provided a more clear illustration of the anatomy and localization of this anomaly in a 44-year-old male patient with right-sided hip pain.
A symptomatic pelvic rib.
TLDR
A case of 15-year-old male, diagnosed with a symptomatic pelvic rib, which had an unusual presentation creating a pseudotumour associated with pain and reduced range of motion in the hip joint is reported.

The “Pelvic digit” — An unusual developmental anomaly
TLDR
Five cases of a rare developmental anomaly involving extraskeletal bone formation with similarity to posttraumatic myositis ossificans and avulsion injuries of the pelvis (rectus femoris) are described and a differential diagnosis offered.
The pelvic digit: CT correlation and review of the literature.
Accessory caudal axial and pelvic ribs.
TLDR
The different shapes of the ribs are documented in this clinical survey, the most extensive in the present literature, due to inappropriate segmentation during the embryonal development of the axial skeleton.
Avulsion injuries of the pelvis and proximal femur.
TLDR
Twenty cases of avulsion fractures of the apophyses of the pelvis and proximal femur were reviewed, finding that most occurred in male adolescents engaged in active sports and should prompt the radiologist to consider a traumatic etiology.
Juxtacortical circumscribed myositis ossificans: evolution and radiographic features.
TLDR
This important roentgen sign points up the lack of intimate connection between the lesion and adjacent bone which differentiates myositis ossificans from juxtacortical osteosarcoma.
