Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection affecting toenails.
  • Differential diagnosis for nail and toe abnormalities is crucial in clinical practice.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male basketball player presented with hyperkeratotic plaques on his toes.
  • Initial referral was for suspected onychomycosis.

Findings:

  • Physical examination revealed callosities secondary to basketball activities, not onychomycosis.
  • Improved footwear and nail hygiene led to resolution of the callosities.

Implications:

  • Sports-related cutaneous injuries, like basketball-induced callosities, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of toe abnormalities.
  • This case underscores the importance of a thorough patient history, including athletic participation, for accurate diagnosis.
