Periungual basal cell carcinoma is rare and needs to be differentiated from other common diseases that affect this region. Several factors are associated with the development of this tumor, and sun damage seems to play an important role in its pathogenesis. Dermoscopy of clinically indolent lesions on the nail unit can shorten the diagnostic process and avoid destructive treatment and functional damage.

“… 1 , 2 This difference in susceptibility to the development of this tumor in different areas has not yet been fully established. 3 Therefore, its occurrence in unusual anatomical sites can usually delay the diagnosis. For this reason, dermoscopy is very effective in identifying these lesions.…”

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are considered to be uncommon around the nail plate. An indolent lesion of this region should arouse suspicion of potential malignancy and a skin biopsy should be undertaken without delay. Early diagnosis can enable the physician to render simpler nondestructive modalities of treatment. In this article, we describe such a case of longstanding BCC of this region mimicking a traumatic ulcer. The nature of the ailment was finally discovered on biopsy and the carcinoma was initially treated with topical Imiquimod.

“…24 BCC may mimic chronic paronychia, pyogenic granuloma, squamous cell carcinoma, amelanotic melanoma, trauma, dermatophyte infection, bacterial infection, and eczema. 4,7,8,12,14,20 Baran et al 25 has described one appropriate biopsy technique. Given the differential diagnosis, adequate biopsy may be accomplished with a shave biopsy, although invasive amelanotic melanoma and primary inflammatory disorders are better biopsied with full thickness techniques.…”
