Therefore, the diagnosis of patients who complain of pain in these areas is also difficult and challenging.

May caused by injury, infection, or a pre-existing condition. The diagnosis of hamular elongation should be based on detailed history, clinical examination, and correlation with radiographic imaging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Due to the rarity, PHE syndrome should be diagnosed accurately.
