title: Mees' lines.
abstract: There are different nail manifestations of systemic diseases. This case represents Mees' lines. In the current report, this phenomenon was caused by chemotherapy agents used for treatment of leukemia. It was caused by medication insult to the nail matrix. Nonblanching and impalpable nail bands, migration with the nail growth, and thumb involvement differentiate Mees' from Beau's and Muehrcke's lines.
