There was a medical case where a subungual exostosis developed on the third toe of 32 year old woman's right foot.

Strain of the supporting ligaments can cause exostosis around the joint as well.

It may lead to exostosis.

The skull of the Acrocanthosaurus atokensis holotype shows some exostosis on the squamosal.

For example, a dorsal (back) vertebra from a juvenile animal showed an exostosis (bony growth) on its underside.

An exostosis (plural: exostoses) is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone.

Surfer's ear (Exostosis of the ear canal)

Warm water surfers are also at risk for exostosis due to the evaporative cooling caused by wind and the presence of water in the ear canal.

The first is a tail vertebra with an exostosis ankylosing the chevron of one vertebra to the centrum of the next.

Haglund's syndrome is group of symptoms namely Haglund's deformity (exostosis of lateral calcaneum) with retrocalcaneal bursitis.

When used in the phrases "Cartilaginous exostosis" or "Osteocartilaginous exostosis", it is considered synonymous with Osteochondroma.

Custom-fitted surfer's earplugs help reduce the amount of cold water and wind that is allowed to enter the external ear canal and, thus, help slow the progression of exostosis.

After twenty years of epic hammering and subsequent nostril Niagaras, Corky developed an exostosis in his sinus passages, requiring surgery to alleviate headaches and to restore proper drainage.

Out of a desire to hear the unobstructed thunder of the waves, Corky didn't always use earplugs when he surfed, so he developed an exostosis; the channel to the inner ear constricts when filled with cold water, and because of repeated abuse, a benign bony tumor narrows the ear canal.
