Subungual osteocartilaginous exostosis.
Subungual exostosis arises underneath the nail plate, originating from the underlying bone. The characteristic appearance of this disorder may occasionally mimic a wide variety of tumors, including subungual verrucae, endochondroma, fibroma, or amelanotic melanoma. With such a wide variety of similar-appearing tumors, optimal treatment of this disorder clearly lies in proper recognition and treatment.
