“…The classic tetrad signs of onychomatricoma include thickening of the nail plate, transverse or longitudinal overcurvature, xanthonychia and multiple splinter hemorrhages. 6,7 Other possible presentations are nail dystrophy, erythronychia, melanonychia, plate fracture, paronychia and dorsal pterygium. 7 The clinical diagnosis of onychomatricoma can be challenging because it can easily mimic many other nail tumors and diseases, including the most prevalent ungual disorder-onychomycosis.…”

“…Notably, cases of onychomatricoma with concomitant onychomycosis can also occur, as the channels within the nail plate created in onychomatricoma provide a favorable environment for fungal invasion. 6,8 Onychoscopy, nail clipping, ultrasound and confocal microscopy may aid in onychomatricoma's diagnosis. 7 Dermatoscopy criteria include longitudinal parallel white lines, parallel lesion edges, splinter hemorrhages, dark dots, nail pitting and thickening of the free edge.…”

Onychomatricoma is a rare benign tumor of the nail matrix, characterized by finger-like projections that invade the nail plate. The fingernails of Caucasian women are most commonly affected. Because this tumor can easily mimic other more prevalent ungual diseases, it is crucial to be acquainted with its characteristic clinical and histopathologic features. The authors present a case of a 40-year-old man with an onychomatrichoma in the fourth left toenail, which was initially misdiagnosed and treated as onychomycosis.
