Abstract

A pelvic digit is a rare congenital anomaly and is often discovered incidentally. We present a 44-year-old male patient with bilateral pelvic digits discovered on a pelvic radiograph during a primary survey after a road traffic accident. Supplementary imaging using computed tomographic imaging confirmed the bilateral finding which is rare. No surgical attempt was made at removal as the patient remained asymptomatic.
