Summary:The authors describe a case of retained sterile matrix in a 38-year-old Hispanic man with a history of remote trauma and soft-tissue coverage with a groin flap 13 years before presentation. The patient presented with a slowly enlarging, vertically growing dorsal thumb mass with occasional drainage. The patient had minimal functional impairment, and radiographic imaging showed a radiolucent mass projecting dorsally over the distal phalanx. Surgical exploration revealed an approximately 2 × 2 cm keratinized mass attached to a retained nail bed. The keratinized nail plate was removed, along with an ellipse of soft tissue around the draining tract. To the authors’ knowledge, this case is the largest reported vertically growing, retained, and cornified nail bed with an unusual size and shape. Physicians should consider the possibility of retained nail plates in patients who present with unusual large growths after trauma or surgery.

“…Adding the 19 EN lesions of the sole and toes already described before [7,16,17,18,19] to the 22 localizations in our patients, we reported a total of 41 EFN (tables 1, 2, 3). The EN growth prevails in the left foot (16 of 41 locations); the majority of lesions were of the cylindric-vertical type, including those of the calcaneus.…”

“…The features of an acquired EN on the sole and toes are dependent on the anatomical site of the nail tissue involved and very rarely are associated with foot bone alterations. EN can grow vertically, like a tooth, or parallel to the skin, like a normal nail [7]. …”

“…Features of the acquired EN are related to the anatomical site where the nail tissue developed [6,7]. Here, we describe the clinical characteristics, dermoscopic features together with the treatment and outcome of a group of patients with EN located in the feet, indicated as ectopic foot nail (EFN) which appeared spontaneously in the absence of traumas and any bone anomalies detected by radiological examination.…”

Background: Ectopic nail (EN) is an extremely rare condition in which the small nail apparatus grows outside the normal nail unit of the hand and fingertips. Limited data can be found in the literature regarding ectopic nails of the foot and toes (EFN). Objective: The study aimed at characterizing the clinical, therapeutic and dermoscopic EFN by a comparison with and differentiation from EN observed on the hands. Methods: Data on EFN collected during 2004-2014 were analysed. A literature search was performed to evaluate articles for review points on the topic. Results: Characteristics of shape, development, ultrasound aspects, dermoscopy and the response to treatment of 22 EFN were reported. Results from our study were compared with cases reported in the literature. Conclusion: In this article, new aspects on EFN from the clinical-morphological and dermoscopic points of view are reported; these may facilitate the diagnosis of an anomaly even without a histological examination.
