“…The thumb was the most frequently affected site[568912131519242628] and the hallux was reported in five cases. [1118212227] The right middle finger was involved in three cases[41620] and both hands were affected with almost similar frequency.…”

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are considered to be uncommon around the nail plate. An indolent lesion of this region should arouse suspicion of potential malignancy and a skin biopsy should be undertaken without delay. Early diagnosis can enable the physician to render simpler nondestructive modalities of treatment. In this article, we describe such a case of longstanding BCC of this region mimicking a traumatic ulcer. The nature of the ailment was finally discovered on biopsy and the carcinoma was initially treated with topical Imiquimod.

“…1 To the best of our knowledge, basal cell carcinoma occurring in the nail unit has been reported in only 17 patients in the English literature. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] We present a man with basal cell carcinoma of the nail unit and review the literature regarding the unique presentation of this tumor. We also discuss the common diagnostic difficulties when managing nail unit basal cell carcinomas.…”

Case report and review of the English literature of nail unit basal cell carcinoma. RESULTS In addition to the currently described patient, 17 other patients with nail unit basal cell carcinoma have been reported. The tumor occurred approximately 3 times more often on the fingers then on the toes and had a slight predilection to occur in men. Ulceration, noted in more than one-half of patients, was the most common presentation of nail unit basal cell carcinoma. Mohs micrographic surgery. Often with second intention healing, was successfully employed in 39% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Basal cell carcinoma infrequently involves the nail unit and often presents as ulceration. Adequate biopsy of the lesion is essential in making a timely diagnosis. Mohs micrographic surgery with second intension healing is an effective treatment that may offer excellent cosmetic and functional results.

“…Skin cancer, predominantly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, have accounted for about 40% of all cancers in the United States and their frequency has been increasing [1]. However, the nail unit is a very uncommon site for basal cell carcinoma to develop [2,3,4]. In 2006, Martinelli et al[ 2] reviewed the English literature and found only 17 patients with a basal cell carcinoma at this location.…”

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the skin, whereas the localization at the nail unit is very rare. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient with a periungual basal cell carcinoma at the thumb. The specific feature of the reported case is the frequent exposure to fishing baits that the patient had stained with an unknown colorant. The use of chromatography, mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy revealed the colorant as the azo pigment Solvent Red 8. Solvent Red 8 is a widespread synthetic azo pigment that is applied to stain consumer products. Compounds such as Solvent Red 8 can be cleaved to carcinogenic amines under, for example, light exposure, in particular after incorporation into the human body. As a result of the frequent skin contact to this azo pigment, this hazard compound might have induced the basal cell carcinoma in our patient.
