Resumo: Subungual squamous cell carcinoma is rare. Its atypical presentation can mimic several diseases and therefore the diagnosis can be easily missed or delayed. It is more frequently observed on the fingernails which may be explained by a much higher sunlight exposure and a possible role of human papilloma virus infection. We report a case of a 58-year-old man that was referred to our Department with a subungual tumour on his left fourth finger. Skin biopsy showed a Subungual squamous cell carcinoma and therefore whole nail unit was excised. Closure was performed with a full-thickness skin graft. The nail apparatus should be fully excised for two main reasons: malignant tumour and severe posttraumatic nail dys- trophy. Amputation remains necessary in case of invasive melanoma or in any Subungual squamous cell carcinoma with bone involvement.KEYWORDS – Carcinoma, squamous cell; Nails.

A sua clínica atípica pode mimetizar diversas pato- logias tornando o diagnóstico difícil e tardio. A localização mais frequente é a unha da mão tendo como provável explicação a muito maior exposição solar (comparando com a unha do pé) e o possível papel do vírus do papiloma humano. Descreve-se o caso clínico de um homem de 58 anos que recorre à nossa consulta por tumor subungueal do quarto dedo da mão esquerda. A biópsia cutânea revelou tratar-se de carcinoma espinocelular pelo que se procedeu à exci- são da totalidade da unidade ungueal. O defeito cirúrgico foi encerrado com enxerto de pele total. A excisão da totalidade da unidade ungueal é realizada por duas razões principais: tumor maligno ou distrofia un- gueal pós-traumática grave. A amputação do dedo é mandatória na presença de melanoma invasivo ou de carcino- ma espinocelular com invasão óssea.PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Carcinoma espinocelular; Unhas.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2013-01-13T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.70.3.12oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/12Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 70 No 3 (2012): Julho - Setembro; 349Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 70 n. 3 (2012): Julho - Setembro; 3492182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/12https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.70.3.12https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/12/12Barreiros, Hugoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:35Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/12Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:10:37.093178Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
