“…They speculated that fungal infection could trigger tumor formation or that the propagation of the former could be facilitated by the induced nail dystrophy. The clinical sign of longitudinal melanonychia has also been reported by Fanti et al [24] as well as by Di Chiacchio et al [7], Wynes et al [25] and Lesort et al [6], the latter stating that other chromonychias such as leukonychia or erythronychia might be present.…”

Onychomatricoma is a rare benign fibroepithelial filamentous tumor originating from the nail matrix. It typically presents with the clinical tetrad of xanthonychia, pachyonychia, proximal splinter hemorrhages and increased transverse overcurvature of the nail plate. The giant variant can easily confuse the clinician due to its extensive nail dystrophy that can mask the characteristic features of this tumor. Benign (fibrokeratoma, ungual fibroma, onycholytic matricoma) and malignant entities (Bowen's disease, squamous cell carcinoma, onycholytic carcinoma) are mimics of the disease. Nail surgery can facilitate the diagnosis, which should always be confirmed by histology, as rare variants do exist.
