GARRIDO-MARQUEZ, Irene; MOYANO-PORTILLO, Álvaro  and  FERNANDEZ-NAVARRO, Laura. Pelvic digit as an incidental finding and possible differential diagnoses. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.2, pp.125-126.  Epub Sep 19, 2022. ISSN 2386-8201.

The pelvic digit is a rare benign congenital abnormality, located in the hip region, in regard to the ilium.

Although usually asymptomatic, it is important to be aware of its existence as well as the possible differential diagnoses since it can be found as an incidental finding on plain x-ray.

We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented to his primary care physician because of generalized arthralgia. He observed an unusual finding on plain x-ray of the hip, whereby he consulted the radiology department, where pelvic digit was diagnosed.

Keywords : hip; pelvic digit; plain x-ray.
