• Pain

  Patient #1 is a 59-year-old woman with a 20-year history of nail deformity affecting the second left finger, characterized by painful central linear subungual hyperkeratosis and onycholysis [Figure - 1]a. [ijdvl.com]

  Recent studies consider the tumor''''''''s genetic alterations, such as losses on chromosome 11. 4 Its slow growth and the absence of pain in most cases explain patients'''''''' typical delay in seeking medical attention. [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

  During clinical examination, besides the presence of secretion, granulation tissue (detected only in the first consultation), erythema and pain, we observed an increase in the nail plate transverse curvature, causing the ingrowth (Figure 1). [scielo.br]

Treatment should be individualized but complete surgical excision remains as the gold standard. [ijdvl.com]

The treatment for onychomatricoma is surgical (Figure 4). [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

The treatment of onychomatricoma is surgical. After anesthetic block, the avulsion of the nail plate is performed and one can visualize the tumor projections, which will be removed with scissors or scalpel (Figure 6). [scielo.br]

Its etiology is not yet fully known. This tumor affects mostly women, with a peak of incidence in the 5th decade of life and it is usually slow growing and painless. [scielo.br]

ETIOPATHOGENESIS Although onychomatricoma''''''''s etiology is still not fully understood, trauma is considered the main predisposing factor. [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

After anesthesia (proximal or distal locking) the proximal nail fold is bent and the nail plate is gently removed in order to prevent the villi from being torn. The tumor must be removed completely. [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]
