Subungual basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare disorder associated with many factors, including contact with some topical and oral substances. A differential diagnosis and an early approach are important to minimize the functional damage of the limbs affected by this type of tumor. We report a case of subungual BCC in a 70-year-old woman that was managed by surgical excision. The patient's medical history included the previous use of arsenic. We emphasize the contribution of an early diagnosis to achieve better treatment results in this instance.

Cornu Cutaneum: Case Reports of Patients With a Cutaneous Horn Associated With Either a Verruca Vulgaris or an Inverted Follicular Keratosis and a Review of the Etiologies of Cutaneous Horns.
Cureus
October 2023
Dermatology, Davis Medical Center, University of California, Sacramento, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A cutaneous horn, or cornu cutaneum, is a growth made of keratinizing skin cells that often develops over underlying skin lesions such as benign and malignant tumors, infections, or other skin conditions.
- The text describes two cases: a 22-year-old woman with a cutaneous horn linked to a stubborn wart on her toe, and a 57-year-old man with a horn associated with inverted follicular keratosis on his lip.
- The most common conditions related to cutaneous horns are actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma, and seborrheic keratosis, with several benign and malignant tumors associated with these skin growths.
Short Brown Parallel Lines on the Proximal Nail Fold. Clinical-Dermoscopic-Histologic Correlation of a Melanocytic Nevus of the Eponychium.
Skin Appendage Disord
March 2023
Dermatology Department, Hospital Universitario de Canarias, La Laguna, Spain.
Introduction: Although Hutchinson's sign can appear associated with benign conditions, dermoscopic findings of non-melanoma eponychium pigmentation have not yet been described in the literature. We report for the first time to our knowledge the dermoscopic findings of an acral nevus located in the proximal nail fold as well as its clinical-dermoscopic-histologic correlation.
Case Report: A twenty-year-old patient presented with a homogeneous longitudinal melanonychia on the left-hand thumb, with benign dermoscopic pattern, and an irregular, 6-mm, dark-brown hyperpigmented macule on the adjacent eponychium (Hutchinson's sign).
Dermoscopic features of neoplasms in skin of color: A review.
Int J Womens Dermatol
March 2021
Emory University School of Medicine, Department of dermatology, 1525 clifton Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30322.
Article Synopsis
- Dermoscopy is a tool that helps doctors look at skin and make better diagnoses, but most research is about lighter skin, leaving a gap for darker skin types.
- This review looks at what we know about skin problems, like moles and skin cancers, in people with skin of color and talks about unique patterns that appear.
- There is not enough information on some serious skin cancers in darker skin, so more studies are needed to help doctors recognize these conditions early.
Dermoscopic rainbow pattern: A strong clue to malignancy or just a light show?
North Clin Istanb
August 2020
Department of Dermatology and Veneorology, Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 840 analyzed lesions, 21 (2%) exhibited this rainbow pattern, particularly in lesions like pyogenic granuloma and hypertrophic scars, predominantly located on limbs.
- * The findings suggest that the rainbow pattern is not exclusive to any one type of lesion and should be evaluated alongside other dermoscopic features for accurate diagnosis.
Onychomatricoma Micropapilliferum, a New Variant of Onychomatricoma: Clinical, Dermoscopical, and Histological Correlations (Report of 4 Cases).

This is a report of a previously undescribed type of onychomatricoma (OM) with an unusual clinical presentation as a thickened free edge of the nail plate without discernible cavities and distinguished histologically from the ordinary OM by 3 features: (1) the lack of cavitation at the proximal border of the nail plate and the small sizes of the cavities at the free edge of the distal nail plate; (2) a papillated epithelial hyperplasia pattern very different from the digitate pattern of the ordinary OM; and (3) a special pattern of matrical keratinization with pseudohorn cysts that mirror closely those found in onychocytic matricoma (OCM). Furthermore, the sex ratio and sites of the lesion seem different than those of conventional OM with the caveat that the numbers in this series are small. A practical approach to the diagnosis of onychogenic tumor mainly involves consideration of tumors that clinically present as localized longitudinal pachyonychia including melanoma and Bowen disease.
