“…Tosti et al [20] offered several clinical clues as to whether melanonychia requires additional investigation for the presence of melanoma. These were 1) discoloration bands in the nails that are wider than 3mm and have irregular borders; 2) extension of the band into the proximal and/or lateral nail fold (Hutchinson's sign); 3) a lesion with a triangular shape; 4) nails that are split or have fissures; and 5) if the pigmentation is not homogenous.…”

“…Atualmente, a dermatoscopia do leito ungueal e da prega ungueal distal também vem sendo utilizada. 11,12,13 Quando não se tem acesso à dermatoscopia, critérios que auxiliam na decisão de realizar uma biópsia são: 1,8 Acometimento de uma única unha; Faixa marrom ou preta > 3mm; Derrame de pigmento periungueal -sinal de Hutchinson.…”

“…Os melanócitos da matriz ungueal diferem dos melanócitos localizados em qualquer outro sítio cutâneo por: (1) serem menos numerosos; (2) serem, geralmente, quiescentes; (3) residirem nas duas a quatro camadas inferiores de células germinativas, em vez de apenas na camada de células basais. 1 Por isso, em geral, os achados histopatológicos nas lesões melanocíticas ungueais são mais discretos. No Caso 2, por exemplo, diagnosticado como lentigo, o grau de hiperplasia melanocítica é bem pequeno, mas está associado a uma hiperplasia lentiginosa da epiderme (acantose com alongamento regular dos cones) que não é observada na melanoníquia racial.…”
