Vegetables usually grow into an unusual shape due to environmental conditions. Damage to one part of the vegetable can cause the growth to slow in that area while the rest grows at the normal rate.

If a plant is in the primordium (embryonic development) stage, damage to the growing vegetable can cause more extreme mutations.
