Onychomycosis and Onychomatricoma

- Summary

Abstract

Nail dermoscopy is helpful in the differential diagnosis of nail disorders including onychomycosis and pigmented and nonpigmented nail tumors. We report two cases of onychomatricoma with concurrent onychomycosis of the same digit. In both cases, dermoscopy of the nail plate exhibited features of onychomatricoma, whereas dermoscopy of the distal free edge revealed features of onychomycosis. It is not uncommon for patients with onychomatricoma to develop coexisting onychomycosis, as channels created by the tumor render the nail plate susceptible to invasion by fungi.
