Abstract
Subungal melanoma is a rare condition accounting for 1-3% of all melanomas. It has been associated with a poor prognosis, with a 10-30% 5 year survival usually attributed to the delay in diagnosis. Early biopsy of suspicious lesions followed by amputation of the digit in those proving positive is the treatment of choice.Entities:
