Summary
A rare subungual aneurysmal bone cyst caused significant toe bone destruction due to delayed diagnosis. Early biopsy is crucial for diagnosing unclear subungual swelling to ensure timely, interdisciplinary treatment.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Surgical Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Subungual tumors typically present as glomus tumors or subungual exostoses.
- Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare, potentially destructive lesions that can occur in the subungual region.
- Delayed diagnosis of subungual masses can lead to extensive bone destruction and complications.

Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
