Median canaliform dystrophy (MCD) is a rare nail disorder. Novel histopathologic findings in two cases suggest MCD involves a spectrum of changes, potentially including inflammation and acantholysis.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Nail Diseases
- Histopathology
Background:
- Median canaliform dystrophy (MCD) of Heller is a rare nail condition.
- Characterized by a median nail split and oblique furrows, often in a "fir-tree" pattern.
- Pathogenesis and histopathology of MCD are poorly understood.
