A member asked:
What is proximal phalangeal cortical lesion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone lesion...: The proximal phalanx is the first bone of the fingers and toes (the bone closest to the hand or foot). The cortex is the hard, outer portion of the bone. A lesion is just that - a spot that can be seen on x-ray of mri. Excatly what it is will need to be determined by a radiologist, or removed and diagnosed by a pathologist.
