[Abstract] Objective The clinical and medical imaging features of pelvic digit were shared through systematic analysis of the literature.Materials and Methods Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, The cochrane library, CJFD database, Viper network and WanFang database. The literatures included in this study were systematically analyzed.Results A total of 28 case reports were included in the systematic analysis. Pelvic digit is usually asymptomatic and is often discovered accidentally. However, there have been reports of related clinical symptoms in the past. The most common site of pelvic digit is the iliac, and the pseudarthrosis is its characteristic feature.Conclusions Most pelvic digits were discovered incidentally by image examinations due to other unrelated diseases. Imaging examination provides valuable information for the observation of the appearance, structure and adjacent relationship with the surrounding soft tissue of the pelvic digit. Recognition of this benign anomaly and make a differential diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary investigation or intervention.
