“…Differential diagnosis depends on the presentation and includes chronic paronychia, piogenic granuloma, verruca vulgaris, onicomycosis, psoriasis, subungueal exostosis and melanoma. [1][2][3] Other diagnosis of difficult differentiation are keratoacanthoma, which may have similar clinical, histological and radiological findings, and metastatic SCCs, which are extremely rare and occur following lung and esophageal cancer. [1][2][3] Subungueal SCC etiology is not known, however, there are numerous factors implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease, such as trauma, chronic infection, immunosuppression, exposure to arsenic, coaltar or radiation, genetic disorders such as congenital dyskeratosis and congenital epidermolysis bullosa.…”
