    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Subungual keratoacanthoma is an uncommon tumor affecting the nail bed.
    • It presents distinct clinical and pathological features compared to keratoacanthomas in other locations.

    Observation:

    • This tumor is characterized by pain or tenderness.
    • It exhibits minimal to no spontaneous regression.
    • Erosion of the distal phalanx terminal tuft is a notable feature.

    Findings:

    • Subungual keratoacanthoma shares many clinical similarities with subungual squamous cell carcinoma.
    • Histological differentiation is essential for accurate diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis is critical for appropriate patient management.
    • Understanding the unique characteristics of subungual keratoacanthoma aids in distinguishing it from other nail bed malignancies.
