  • Title: Atypical squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed with phalangeal involvement.
    Author: Choughri H, Villani F, Sawaya E, Pelissier P.
    Journal: J Plast Surg Hand Surg; 2011 Jun; 45(3):173-6. PubMed ID: 21682614.
    Abstract:
    We report an atypical presentation of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the distal phalanx of the left thumb. On physical examination, there was no clinical evidence of a local lesion, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple intraosseous cavities filled with fluid. A biopsy specimen showed a well-differentiated SCC, which was treated by amputation of the distal phalanx.
