  • Title: Longitudinal melonychia: clinical evaluation and biopsy technique.
    Author: O'Connor EA, Dzwierzynski W.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2011 Nov; 36(11):1852-4. PubMed ID: 21958718.
    Abstract:
    Longitudinal melonychia is a brown streaking of the nailbed. It is often benign but can be a subungual melanoma. Subungual melanoma is a rare malignancy. Diagnosis is often delayed, resulting in a higher staging and poorer prognosis than other cutaneous melanomas. We provide an update on the evaluation of longitudinal melonychia and biopsy technique.
