Abstract: (1737 Views)
Introduction: Onycholemmal carcinoma is a rare slow-growing malignant epithelial neoplasm originating from nail bed epithelium. Clinical presentations are nonspecific and include warty mass, ulceration, and crust, onycholysis, periungual erythema, edema, and pain.
Case Report: Herein, we report a 65-year-old woman with a mass lesion in the second finger of right hand that lasted for 3 years, which finally managed by finger amputation. Histopathology of the tumor revealed solid islands of atypical keratinocytes with abrupt keratinization without granular layer formation. Immunohistochemistry for epithelial and cell proliferation markers was performed.
Conclusion: Malignant epithelial neoplasms of the nail should be considered in long-standing nail problems and appropriate nail biopsy should be performed.
