English abstract | Melanonychia corresponds to color patterns in the nail plate, ranging from brown to black. It is a diagnostic challenge due to the fact it has several differential diagnoses, including benign and malignant entities. There are no reports of pigmented fibroma of the nail matrix causing striata (or longitudinal) melanonychia. In light of this fact, the authors report a case of melanonychia striata secondary to pigmented fibroma of the nail, with clinical examination and dermoscopic findings suggestive of nodular melanoma |
Portuguese abstract | Melanoníquia é a coloração da lâmina ungueal variando do marrom ao negro. Representa um desafio diagnóstico, pois há diversos diagnósticos diferenciais incluindo entidades benignas e malignas. Não há relatos de fibroma da matriz ungueal pigmentado causando melanoníquia longitudinal. Diante disso, os autores relatam um caso de melanoníquia estriada secundária a fibroma ungueal pigmentado, com achados do exame clínico e dermatoscópico sugestivos de melanoma nodular |
