  • Title: Lichen planus of the nail presenting as a tumor: diagnosis by longitudinal nail bed biopsy.
    Author: Lambert DR, Siegle RJ, Camisa C.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1988 Nov; 14(11):1245-7. PubMed ID: 3183177.
    Abstract:
    Our patient presented with a keratotic tumor of the nail bed that simulated a neoplasm. Longitudinal nail bed biopsy showed lichen planus, sparing the patient excisional surgery. We review the differential diagnosis of nail bed tumors, nail biopsy techniques, and the findings of lichen planus of the nail.
