RESUMEN
Los tumores y pseudotumores ungueales representan un desafío diagnóstico, principalmente, dada la compleja anatomía de la uña y la apariencia clínica similar de estas lesiones. La exostosis subungueal es una entidad de baja frecuencia que debe considerarse en el diagnóstico de las masas subungueales. No es un tumor verdadero, sino crecimiento anormal de hueso o una calcificación de tejido cartilaginoso. En el siguiente artículo, se comunica el caso de una exostosis subungueal y realizamos una breve discusión, enfatizando los diagnósticos diferenciales, principalmente el melanoma subungueal, que debe sospecharse siempre y derivarse en forma precoz.(AU)
ABSTRACT
Nail tumors and pseudotumors represent a diagnostic challenge, mainly due to the complex anatomy of the nail and similar clinical appearance of these lesions. Subungual exostosis is an entity of low frequency, which should be considered in the differential diagnoses of subungual masses. It is not a true tumor, but an overgrowth of bone or cartilage tissue calcification. In the following article, we report the case of a subungual exostosis and perform a brief discussion, emphasizing the differential diagnoses, including the subungual melanoma, which should always be suspected and referred in a timely manner.(AU)
