“…Diagnosis is made based on clinical, radiological, and histopathologic correlation. A rapidly growing lesion, the presence of pain with a hyperkeratotic plug, and bone destruction may provide clues for the clinical diagnosis [8].…”

“…Recurrences due tumor’s tendency for deeper planes of invasion are common. Mohs surgery can help in reducing recurrences and thus avoid the involvement of the fingertip due to its ability to define tumor margins more precisely [8]. Roberto Cecchi et al [19] described a case of a patient with SUKA recurrence after treatment with simple surgical excision successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery without local recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.…”

Introduction: Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a group of tumors of epidermal origin with controversial nature. Subungual keratoacanthoma (SUKA) is a rare and destructive variant with more aggressive behavior. SUKA appears as a rapidly growing, painful tumor beneath the nail plate that rapidly progresses to a mass that can measure up to 2 cm. The toe location is unusual. The diagnosis must be made based on the correlation of clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. Case Presentation: We present two cases of patients diagnosed with SUKAs with different clinical presentations which ranged from very typical to uncommon one. Both cases were treated with simple excision without recurrences. Conclusion: SUKA is a rare subungual tumor. Nail bed location represents a more difficult diagnostic challenge. SUKA should be suspected in the context of persistent and progressive pain on a finger or toe, once more frequent painful tumors have been ruled out.

“…34 In addition to these, two other groups reported phaeohyphomycosis of the ungual apparatus and onychomycosis due to Onychocola canadensis, which can be seen very rarely. 35,36 It is estimated to affect approximately 12% of the U.S. population. 37,38 According to 'Foot Check Study', the prevalence of onychomycosis among Germans is 12.4%.…”
