Abstract:
The presenting sign associated with the tumours of the nail unit may involve: the colouration of the nail plate and/or the subungual tissue; the contour of the nail and the volume of the distal phalanx; the integrity of the nail (partial destruction or nail disappearance); abnormalities in the periungual tissues. The key for the early diagnosis of a nail tumour is a high index of suspicion of any non healing or recurrent condition in the area. Non-invasive studies such as X-ray or MRI may be followed by the need of exploratory nail plate removal and adequate biopsy.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
