Introduction: Monodactylous longitudinal melanonychia (LM) may represent both benign and malignant dermatologic disorders. However, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCis) is not commonly considered in this setting.
Case Presentation: In this report, we present 2 cases of SCCis of the nail matrix in patients with skin of color who presented with monodactylous LM involving the lateral aspect of the nail.
Conclusion: These cases suggest that SCCis should be included in the differential diagnosis for monodactylous LM, especially when involving the lateral nail plate in darker skin.
