A patient developed late-onset subungual radiodermatitis 25 years after radiotherapy for a verruca. This case highlights the importance of patient history in diagnosing chronic radiation effects on the nail apparatus.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Radiotherapy is a common treatment for various skin conditions.
  • Late-onset complications of radiotherapy can occur years after treatment.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with subungual radiodermatitis, a rare complication.
  • The condition developed 25 years after initial radiotherapy for a verruca vulgaris on the lateral nail fold.

Findings:

  • Chronic radiodermatitis of the nail apparatus can manifest with delayed onset.
  • The clinical presentation, stages, and treatment of this condition are detailed.
  • Thorough patient history (anamnesis) is crucial for diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the long-term risks associated with radiotherapy.

  • Awareness of late-onset radiodermatitis is important for clinicians managing patients with a history of radiation therapy.
  • Further research into the mechanisms and management of chronic radiodermatitis is warranted.
