Abstract:
Onycholemmal carcinoma is a rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma deriving origin from the nailbed epithelium. With only 16 available reports in the literature, there is no standardized diagnostic or management algorithm. Treatment is largely center-specific, with most cases involving distal amputation of the affected digit. The purpose of this case report is to highlight challenges in diagnosis and advocate for a digit-sparing approach.

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...

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.
