A child developed an extra nail on his finger after an injury. Surgical removal of the ectopic nail and its matrix corrected the deformity.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Orthopedic Surgery
Pediatric Medicine

Background:

Nail deformities can arise from various causes, including trauma.
Ectopic nails are rare occurrences, often presenting unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

A 5-year-old boy presented with a complete accessory ectopic nail on the dorsoulnar aspect of his left ring finger.
The nail formation followed a reported injury to the digit.

Findings:

The accessory nail was surgically resected.
The underlying nail matrix responsible for the ectopic nail formation was also removed.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering nail matrix involvement in traumatic nail deformities.
