title: First presentation of lung adenocarcinoma as a subungual metastasis.
abstract: Subungual metastasis as a presenting feature of lung adenocarcinoma is rare and may be confused with a benign inflammatory disorder of the nail unit with subsequent diagnostic and management delay. We discuss the case of a 46-year-old man with a subungual metastasis as a presenting feature of lung adenocarcinoma.
