Abstract
An assessment of the occurrence rate of periungual hyperpigmentation with subungual melanoma (Hutchinson's sign) and periungual hyperpigmentation with other subungual lesions has not been published, although periungual hyperpigmentation with a pigmented streak or other pigmented lesion of the nail has been considered pathognomonic for subungual melanoma for a century. We report a case of minocycline hyperpigmentation presenting as a longitudinal pigmented streak of the nail associated with periungual hyperpigmentation. These pigmentary changes could be mistaken for Hutchinson's sign.
