Subungual melanoma is a rarer form of melanoma encountered in clinical practice that often has a poor prognosis because it presents with advanced disease. We report a case of a 46-year-old male with a circumferential osteoinvasive melanoma that invaded the superior and lateral aspects of the periosteum of the distal phalanx. We discuss pathologic findings and common physical exam findings to facilitate earlier diagnosis of subungual melanoma.

Major underlying health issues can be indicated by even minor nail infections. Subungual Melanoma is one of the most severe kinds since it is identified at a much later stage than other conditions. The purpose of this research is to offer novel deep-learning algorithms that target the autonomous categorization of six forms of nail disorders by employing images: Blue Finger, Clubbing, Pitting, Onychogryphosis, Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, and Normal Nail or Healthy Nail Appearance.

Background: In the development of plantar melanoma, it is suspected that mechanical stress caused by weight-bearing activities, such as walking, rather than ultraviolet exposure, may play a significant role, showing a concentrated prevalence in areas of the foot where weight-bearing actions are prevalent. However, research investigating whether such mechanical stress influences disease prognosis has been limited. This study was designed to investigate the association between weight-bearing activity and the oncologic outcomes of patients with plantar melanoma.

Background: A wide variety of tumors can affect the nail unit, with some commonly mistaken as inflammatory or infectious diseases. Obtaining an optimal sample for histopathologic evaluation requires understanding of nail unit anatomy as well as the histopathology of the suspected nail tumor.
Summary: This review discusses clinical and histopathologic features of a subset of benign and malignant nail tumors, including subungual melanoma, nail unit squamous cell carcinoma in situ, nail unit squamous cell carcinoma, onychomatricoma, onychopapilloma, onychocytic matricoma, and onychocytic carcinoma.

Introduction: Metastasis of malignant melanoma to urinary tract is reported to be rare. According to retrospective analysis of a single center study, improvement of overall survival was observed in patients with metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract that had undergone metastasectomy with curative intent. However, there is no significant evidence regarding resection for metastasis to urinary tract.
