Abstract
Subungual melanoma (SM) must be suspected in the initial workup of patients with pigmented nails. However, the differential diagnosis of SM from other nail disorders that involve nail pigmentation is challenging. Dermoscopic, clinical, and histopathological features are integrated for a definite diagnosis. The primary treatment of SM is surgery. Depending on the depth of invasion, amputation or functional surgery can be chosen. This article reviews the clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of SM, as well as its diagnosis and treatment.
