Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Periungual fibromas are uncommon benign growths.
  • They can be acquired or linked to genetic conditions like tuberous sclerosis or von Recklinghausen's disease.
  • These lesions can exert pressure on the nail matrix, leading to nail pathology and discomfort.

Observation:

  • A case study of a periungual fibroma on the foot of an elderly male patient is presented.
  • The lesion's clinical presentation and patient history are detailed.
  • Histopathologic analysis of the excised lesion was performed.

Findings:

  • The study details the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a periungual fibroma.
  • Radical surgical excision was the chosen treatment modality for this symptomatic case.
  • The analysis confirmed the benign nature of the dermatologic lesion.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering periungual fibromas in the differential diagnosis of nail abnormalities.
  • Effective management through surgical excision can alleviate pain and prevent further nail damage.
  • Understanding the histopathology aids in accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient care.
