Abstract

Subungual exostosis is a benign osteo-chondral overgrowth occurring on the distal phalanx beneath the nail plate. Dermatoscopic features of subungual exostosis have been described in a few studies, however, intraoperative dermatoscopic findings of the entity has not been described yet. Here we report intraoperative dermatoscopy of subungual exostosis in a young female patient.
