“…In addition, other ultrasound features are reported both for the nail bed and plate, such as the upward displacement, thickening and the hyperechoic focal spots/irregularities, respectively. 4 At histology, onychopapilloma shows papillomatous acanthosis of the nail bed, nail matrix metaplasia, subungual hyperkeratosis, and hemorrhage. 5 The accuracy of the histological analysis could be improved when a longitudinal tangential excision is performed.…”

Onychopapilloma is a relatively common benign nail unit tumor arising from the nail bed or the distal matrix, first described by Baran and Perrin in 1995. 1 It usually affects one single nail, presenting as longitudinal erythronychia, slightly onycholytic with or without a distal V-shaped appearance. It may also present as longitudinal leukonychia, melanonychia or xanthonychia. 1 Due to the various clinical presentations mimicking many other nail tumors, the diagnosis of onychopapilloma might be challenging, while the non-invasive imaging techniques could have a positive impact F I G U R E 1 (A) Linear fringed erythro-melanonychia band of the left thumb with proximal focal alteration of the lunula. (B,C) Onychoscopy: proximal erythema of the lunula, fine red band with purple/black splinter hemorrhages up to the free edge of the nail plate. (D) Reflectance confocal microscopy of the nail plate free edge: hyperreflective digitiform structures (yellow line) and focal ovoid white areas (red asterisks).Data sharing not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study. PATIENT CONSENT STATEMENTThe patient was informed about the use of his clinical information according to the Declaration of Helsinki principles and photos for a publication intent. The informed consent was appropriately obtained during the medical examination.
