Subungual squamous cell carcinoma.

L R Lumpkin, T Rosen, J A Tschen

    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Subungual squamous cell carcinoma, a rare nail cancer, is often misdiagnosed as inflammation. Early biopsy is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, typically involving digit amputation.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Subungual squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon malignancy arising beneath the fingernail or toenail.
    • Its clinical presentation frequently mimics benign inflammatory nail conditions, leading to diagnostic delays.

    Observation:

    • Delayed diagnosis is common due to the superficial resemblance to common inflammatory dermatoses.
    • Bone involvement is a frequent characteristic of subungual SCC.
    • Metastasis is rare but can occur.

    Findings:

    • Squamous cell carcinoma under the nail is rare.
    • It often resembles benign inflammatory conditions, delaying diagnosis.
    • Bone invasion is common, while metastases are unusual.

    Implications:

    • A high index of suspicion for malignancy is warranted for inflammatory nail conditions unresponsive to conventional therapy.
    • Biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis.
    • Amputation of the affected digit offers a curative treatment option for subungual SCC.
