Primary Carcinoma of the Nail Bed

Periungual Basal Cell Carcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review

“…There was a slight predilection for men, with a male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Nail plate involvement was noted in 8 patients 2,3,5,6,8,13,16 ; the clinical presentations varied from longitudinal melanonychia, which mimicked melanoma in 2 patients, 8,13 to partial 16 or complete nail plate destruction, 6 to onycholysis with subungual debris, 2 to ulceration within the nail bed 3 . Seven individuals, including our patient, had tumor that either involved or was in proximity to the nailfold 6,10,12,14,15,17 .…”

Subungual Basal Cell Carcinoma

“…Basal cell carcinoma of the nail organ is rare. All of the eight reported cases have been on fingers 1–7 . Case 2 described above appears to be the first one observed on a toe.…”

Surgical treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the nail unit

“…Although BCC elsewhere is known to be related to ultraviolet radiation, nail unit BCC is infrequent despite digits being relatively well exposed. Some have speculated about the role of trauma, carcinogens (azo dyes and arsenic), and chronic radiation exposure …”
