Subungual malignant melanoma--re-learning the lesson.

Kavit Amin1, Katy Edmonds, Andrew Fleming, Barry Powell.   

Abstract

The authors present two patients referred by colleagues after traumatic hand injury. However, upon closer inspection, both patients had pigmented lesions under the nail bed, which upon biopsy showed proven subungual malignant melanoma. The authors wish to emphasise the importance of this diagnosis, especially in emergency care.
