title: [Leukonychia totalis].
abstract: Our patient presented with leukonychia totalis at the age of 15 years. Other malformations such as syndromes or underlying internal diseases did not exist. The patient's family history was unremarkable. In the classification of leukonychias, the real, usually hereditary leukonychia can be distinguished from the acquired form. The white color of the nails can be isolated, depending on its present form, appear as part of a syndrome, or as a result of internal disease. An effective treatment of hereditary leukonychia is not known.
