Subungual chronic radiodermatitis.
We report a patient who developed a subungual radiodermatitis 25 years following radiotherapy for a verruca of the lateral nail fold. The different stages and the treatment of chronic radiodermatitis of the nail apparatus are described. We want to emphasize the late onset of such lesions and the prime importance of the anamnesis.
