    Author: Bilenchi R, Poggiali S, De Paola M, Batsikosta N, Fimiani M.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2013; 30(2):267-9. PubMed ID: 22277059.
    Abstract:
    The term "ectopic nail" refers to nail tissue found in a location other than in the normal nail bed. Here we report a 9-year-old girl with an asymptomatic keratotic "horn" on the tip of her left fifth finger. Present since the age of 1 month, it was misdiagnosed as a common wart and treated using liquid nitrogen cryotherapy without benefit.
