    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Subungual malignant melanoma (SUM) is often misdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment and a worse prognosis. Persistent nail disorders, even without pigmentation, warrant suspicion for SUM.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Subungual malignant melanoma (SUM), also known as melanotic whitlow, presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Early recognition is crucial as misdiagnosis can negatively impact patient outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To review clinical and pathological findings in 12 SUM cases.
    • To discuss diagnostic and differential diagnostic challenges of SUM.
    • To highlight the importance of considering SUM in persistent nail disorders.

    Summary:

    • This clinico-pathologic study analyzed 12 patients with subungual malignant melanoma (SUM).
    • The study emphasizes the difficulty in diagnosing SUM and its differential diagnosis.
    • Persistent nail abnormalities, particularly those lacking pigmentation, should raise suspicion for SUM.
