Overview
Onychomatrichoma is a rarely described benign fibroepithelial tumor of the nail matrix. The authors present a case of onychomatricoma diagnosed after more than 10 years of duration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a typical picture of the disease. Therapeutic ablation of the nail plate and subsequent histological examination confirmed the suspected diagnosis. The authors provide a current overview of knowledge about this disease and its differential diagnosis.
