Abstract
Pincer nail is the transverse overcurvature of the nail plate which can lead to painful pinching of underlying tissues, loss of soft tissue of the involved fingers, and rarely bone resorption of the terminal phalynx.1 Pincer nails may be congenital or acquired. Acquired pincer nail deformity has multiple associations including ill-fitting shoes, medications such as β-blockers, psoriasis, and various systemic diseases, including gastrointestinal malignancy and renal failure.2, 3 A case of pincer nails in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was described in 2005, but, to our knowledge, no further cases have been reported.3 We present a case of pincer nail deformity associated with SLE and lupus nephritis.
