Periungual fibroma.

T Kojima, T Nagano, M Uchida

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Periungual fibromas on the hand can cause significant nail deformities due to pressure on the nail matrix. Surgical removal of these fibromas effectively improved nail appearance in both reported cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Hand Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Periungual fibromas are benign tumors that can affect the fingers and toes.
    • These lesions, though typically small, can exert pressure on surrounding structures.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of periungual fibromas on the hand are presented.
    • The fibromas were located adjacent to the nail, impacting the nail matrix.

    Findings:

    • The pressure from the periungual fibromas led to noticeable nail deformities in both patients.
    • Excision of the fibromas resulted in a significant improvement of the nail deformities.

    Implications:

    • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for periungual fibromas causing nail deformities.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent or correct cosmetic and functional issues related to periungual fibromas.
