Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma uncommonly presents as a primary neoplasm of the nail. When occurring in the periungual region, this malignancy may mimic a wide variety of infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders, including the common wart. We present the case of a 62-year-old man with subungual squamous cell carcinoma in situ that for many years was treated as a verruca.
