Abstract:
A 2.5-year-old Filipino girl with a progressively growing, black, subungual lesion is described. A biopsy was performed because of the progressive increase in size of the lesion and its periungual involvement. Histologic examination revealed a junctional nevus. To our knowledge, this represents the first report of subungual nevus in a Filipino child. The need for histologic diagnosis prior to definitive surgery cannot be overemphasized.
