Abstract
|
|
|
We report a case of a 53-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis who has had a recurrent painful bleeding papule on the right toe nail bed with resultant nail plate shedding over the past two years. X-ray and
computer
tomography examinations showed nearly total destruction of the distal phalanx of the right fifth toe and right inguinal lymph node enlargement. A nail bed biopsy specimen disclosed invading tumor masses composed of atypical squamous cells and
multiple
horn pearls.
While squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed is not usually aggresive and local removal is usually adequate, the possibility that metastasis or invasion of the adjacent phalanx or joint can occur should be kept in mind. (Kor J Dermatol
